Aberdeen’s live event venue, P&J Live, has announced it will host the 20th UK Stroke Forum Conference, 25-27 November 2025, the flagship event of the UK Stroke Association.
Attracting around 2,000 delegates, the conference will encompass a strong public engagement programme, signposting advice and assistance for stroke carers and survivors in the local community.
Steve Daun, head of association sales for ASM Global, said: “Our working partnership with NHS Grampian and the University of Aberdeen has helped us to identify local champions who were instrumental in showcasing the research locally in this field.”
Daun added: “The venue’s sustainability credentials will play a key role in supporting the associations green objectives, while its in-house team of experts will deliver a first-class event for the association next year.”
Laura Wilson, head of Aberdeen Convention Bureau, said: “The region is internationally renowned in stroke research and rehabilitation, and the confirmed UK Stoke Forum will bring almost £900,000 in delegate spend to the region, as well as community outreach events for stroke survivors and carers.”
Juliet Bouverie, chief executive officer at the Stroke Association said: “As a UK charity, it’s vital that we bring more of these events to our devolved nations and Aberdeen, which is home to one of the largest healthcare sites in Europe.”
