The MRC-NIHR Trials Methodology Research Partnership is delighted to invite you to the 8th International Clinical Trials Methodology Conference 2026.

ICTMC is the leading international platform for researchers and practitioners to present the very latest in trials methodology. The meeting also offers valuable networking and training opportunities, with over 1,200 delegates from 32 countries attending in 2024.

The 2026 conference will take place in the vibrant and diverse city of Birmingham. As the UK’s dynamic second city, Birmingham is steeped in innovation and culture, particularly its legendary musical roots. Known worldwide for its manufacturing heritage, Birmingham is also one of the greenest cities in the UK, with its urban parks and canals loved by many for leisurely walks and scenic views.

We hope you take this opportunity to extend your visit to explore the city, discover eclectic dining spots and immerse yourself in the city’s atmosphere.

The meeting venue is the International Convention Centre (ICC), which incorporates Symphony Hall and faces Centenary Square, with another entrance leading to the canals of Birmingham. A variety of accommodation options are available within a short walking distance to suit any budget. We also hope many of you will join us for the Conference Party, a celebration which is always fun and memorable for all.

A diverse programme will be prepared by the Scientific Committee and Education Committee, which promises to make this a highly rewarding and enjoyable meeting for all.

We look forward to welcoming you to ICTMC 2026!
