National Conference Postponed - New Date to Be Confirmed

We wish to provide an important update regarding our National Conference, which was due to take place on 17 October 2026.

Despite extensive promotion and advertising of the event, registration numbers have remained significantly below expectations. Following careful consideration, the Board has made the difficult decision to postpone the conference and reschedule it to Spring 2027.

This decision was not made lightly. We know that many people were looking forward to attending the conference and connecting with others from across the Dyspraxia/DCD community. We share the disappointment of having to postpone the event, particularly as we had developed an informative and engaging programme featuring a range of excellent speakers and contributors.

However, we believe that postponing the conference will allow us to deliver the high-quality national event that our members, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors deserve. Rescheduling the conference for 2027 will provide us with an opportunity to build stronger attendance and create an even more valuable and meaningful experience for everyone involved.

We sincerely thank everyone who has already registered for the conference and supported the event. We greatly appreciate your continued commitment to Dyspraxia/DCD Ireland and to our wider community.

For those who have already booked, refunds will be issued automatically. There is no need to contact us regarding your refund; you will receive an email with details once it has been processed.

If you have any questions about your booking, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We will provide further information as soon as the new conference dates have been confirmed. We hope that you will be able to join us in 2027 and look forward to welcoming you to the conference.

We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this change may cause and thank you for your understanding and continued support.
