Registration

Find out how to register for the SLSA Annual Conference 2026 and the online poster presentation.

Conference registration

The conference registration fee includes access to all sessions, lunch and tea/coffee breaks.

We’re also offering delegates the chance to attend two evening events in Brighton for free. The events are:

  • informal reception on Monday 30 March at the Brighton Palace Pier (capacity 500 delegates)
  • conference dinner on Tuesday 31 March at The Grand Hotel (capacity 600 delegates).

Due to venue capacity limitations, places at these events cannot be guaranteed. Allocation of places will follow a first-come, first-served approach and will apply only to delegates who select these events during registration. Once the venue capacity is reached, names of additional delegates wishing to join these events will be added to a waiting list.
