The 2026 BLS Annual Lymphoedema Conference is a three-day, in-person meeting at Chester Racecourse for clinicians and allied professionals involved in lymphoedema, chronic oedema and lipoedema care. The conference runs from late afternoon on Monday 5 October, includes a full day of educational sessions and industry networking on Tuesday 6 October, and finishes with a half-day programme on Wednesday 7 October in association with Lipoedema UK. Delegates also have access to a Meet the Exhibitors reception on the Monday evening and use the Whova app for the agenda, materials and networking features.\n\nAbstract submission was open for oral and poster presentations, with a deadline of 12 noon on Friday 29 May 2026. The Scientific Committee stated that research, service development and education projects are accepted, with topics welcomed across lymphoedema practice and specific encouragement for lipoedema-related abstracts because of the 2026 Lipoedema UK partnership. The rendered site did not state a journal or proceedings publication outcome.\n\nRegistration is for the full conference. The visible delegate fees are £350 for BLS members and £450 for non-members, with the Monday evening exhibitors reception included for delegates but requiring selection during booking. A reception-only option is listed at £65. The site states that the meeting is fully in person, with no virtual attendance option, and that delegates receive a certificate of attendance but the conference does not carry CPD points. Chester Racecourse is described as fully accessible, with on-site parking available on a first-come, first-served basis at £5 per day for delegates not staying at the Holiday Inn Express.
