Vancouver Echo 1 - March 2025
Dear Fellow Colleagues
1. We believe that a conference must have both a mission statement and a strong set of values that we uphold in our decision making as we build our conference. We look forward to receiving feedback here on the values that are important to you as the delegate, your executive and members at large as we evolve our value set to best reflect the IFOMPT family in the context of IFOMPT 2028.
2. This is the first call for you to provide us here with topics important to the physiotherapy community in your country. IFOMPT 2028 must encompass important, current, and innovative topics that have global appeal. We will incorporate manual and musculoskeletal physiotherapy/Orthopaedic Manual/Manipulative Therapy as a foundational pillar for this conference.
3. Additionally, we would love to hear how you would like to experience the conference in format- from Key Notes to mini symposia to round table conversations. Also, please share with us how you would like to interact with your colleagues formally or informally whether it be a dinner and banquet, hospitality suite, or activities outside. So, gather the thoughts of yourself, your exec and members and share these here.
4. A general update of where our planning is at, as share with the IFOMPT members at the March 2025 Team Talk and Town Halls, can be found here.

Please watch upcoming IFOMPT emails, the beginning of updates on the IFOMPT website and socials for IFOMPT 2028. We hope to engage you with volunteer opportunities later in 2025!

Your 2028 Conference Executive- Rhonda, Mike and Jen
