Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a CSP member to submit an abstract?
For the main conference, we welcome abstract submissions from anyone. For the student conference, we can only accept submissions from CSP student members. Find out more about the benefits of student membership.
What's the difference between the student conference and the principal conference?
Both conferences are part of the same event.
The student conference is aimed at middle and final year physiotherapy students and will take place on Thursday 10 October. Attendance is free, but only CSP student members can attend in person for free.
The principal conference will take place on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 October and bookings are open to all.
Do I need to pay for a ticket to attend?
If you are presenting as part of a symposium or networking session, you will be able to attend the day of your presentation for free, but will need to cover other costs.
If you are attending to present an abstract at the principal conference, on 11-12 October, you will need to buy a ticket to attend. Early bird two-day tickets are £119 and available now.
If you are presenting at the student conference on 10 October, you will be able to book a ticket for free.
Is there financial support to attend?
In 2023 we ran a pilot widening participation grant which we are currently evaluating. If we run it again in 2024, you will find information about this on our conference web pages.
Can I use Mentimeter or other voting software?
