MS Trust conference
Annual conference 2026
The MS Trust conference is a fantastic event for MS health professionals. It provides an opportunity to learn about the latest treatments, therapies, developments in clinical practice and research from world-class key opinion leaders as well as share expertise and focus on improving care for everyone affected by Multiple Sclerosis.
Very grateful for the opportunity to attend conference. After all these years in MS nursing, it still seems such a privilege to learn and share in such a supported way. Thank you again!

Poster competition
Applications for the 2026 poster competition are now open!
The MS Trust conference poster exhibition provides an opportunity to showcase examples of excellence in research, evidence and practice in MS care.
Posters will be displayed throughout the conference and there is time in the programme for poster authors to respond to delegate questions.
The core theme of conference 2026 focuses on embedding evidence into clinical practice and the impact this can have for people living with MS. In our new strategy, we focus on the research and innovation that can make a difference to people living with MS today. We welcome posters that showcase evidence-based interventions that can swiftly be put into clinical practice.
Submitted posters are encouraged to be aligned with these themes.
