Last month a large group of ACE members attended ICTMC26. ICTMC is the leading international platform for researchers and practitioners to present the very latest in trials methodology. Over 1200 delegates from 32 countries attended the conference which was organised by MRC-NIHR Trials Methodology Research Partnership.
The 2026 conference took place from 14-17 September at the ICC Birmingham featuring workshops, keynotes, parallel sessions, training opportunities and networking events.
Among the ACE attendees was Research Assistant, Vitri Darlene who summed up her experiences at the conference.
"I've only attended two external conferences during my PhD, both ICTMC, and each has been great for geeking out on methodology side of me. One of my favorite sessions is the pilot and feasibility trial, fascinating talks there- interested in following updates on that area going forward. A rough first 18 hours after the airline lost my poster, but my lightning talk excitement outweighed it. Gladly the replacement sorted out timely, and it was great that several people stopped by to chat, as well connecting and catch up with others. Next is Glasgow in 2028 - let's go!"
