Arsenal SEMS Conference 2026: Risk, Rehab and Readiness

SEMS 2026 is aimed at clinicians, physiotherapists, researchers and performance staff working in sport and exercise medicine. The two-day programme at Emirates Stadium on 1–2 October offers 14 CPD points and is organised around Risk, Rehab and Readiness. Topics span female athlete health, tendinopathy, muscle and joint injury, medical emergencies, injury prevention, AI, recovery and return-to-performance.

Day 1 runs from registration at 08:00 to the 18:15 welcome function, followed by an optional dinner for Hospitality and VIP delegates. Day 2 covers bone and joint injury, player-health research, load and readiness, recovery science and careers, then closes with the SEMS Cup and farewell refreshments. The published programme is preliminary and the organiser says timings may change.

The official conference, programme, speaker and ticket pages currently advertise no delegate call for abstracts. There is no published submission deadline, portal, word or character limit, required structure, category list, poster/oral format, presenter obligation or publication outcome. That makes the meeting useful for evidence-based education and networking, but not currently a confirmed route for presenting audit, QIP or original research.

Standard two-day entry is £425. A £225 student pass is limited to 50 places and requires student ID or proof of enrolment; no separate doctor-in-training tariff is shown. Hospitality costs £485 and VIP £525, while groups buying four or more tickets receive 20% off automatically. Two £150 practical workshops run on 30 September as optional add-ons and are not separate conferences.
