The British Academy of Audiology is pleased to announce a new format for its flagship educational event in 2027.
Rather than hosting the traditional BAA Annual Conference next year, we will be introducing the BAA Focus Day 2027; a dedicated one-day event designed to provide audiology professionals with high-quality specialist content, professional networking and practical learning opportunities whilst supporting preparations for the World Congress of Audiology (WCA) 2028.
As hosts of WCA2028, BAA is committed to ensuring that both member engagement and industry support remain strong in the lead-up to this landmark international event. BAA Focus Day will offer an exciting alternative that delivers significant value for members while preserving sponsorship and exhibition opportunities for WCA2028.
A new approach to conference…for one year!
Unlike our traditional conference programme where delegates move between multiple topics, BAA Focus Day will enable attendees to select a single specialist clinical stream and immerse themselves in that area throughout the day. This focused approach will provide deeper learning, greater relevance to clinical practice and enhanced opportunities for networking with colleagues who share similar interests.
Proposed specialist streams include:
- Adult Audiology
- Paediatric Audiology
- Vestibular
- Auditory Implants
- Tinnitus & Hyperacusis
Each stream will feature expert-led presentations, practical clinical discussions, current research, innovation updates and opportunities to explore future developments within the specialty area.
Bringing the profession together
While learning will take place within dedicated specialty streams, delegates will also come together throughout the day for registration, networking breaks, and lunch sessions. The programme will provide opportunities to discuss the future of the profession, current priorities within audiology and developments as BAA prepares to welcome the global audiology community to WCA2028.
Focused learning. Meaningful connections.
The BAA Focus Day has been developed to support members by providing accessible, affordable and clinically relevant CPD while maintaining the sense of community and professional connection that members value from BAA events. The event will also help strengthen specialist communities across the profession and create opportunities for meaningful discussion around challenges, innovations and future practice.
Further information, including registration details will be announced in the new year.
One day. Five specialist communities. Focused learning for better patient care.
