TICKETS NOW ON SALE: Veterans' Mental Health Conference 2026
We are delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for our upcoming Veterans' Mental Health Conference, held in London on Thursday 14th May 2026. We, as usual, have a great line-up of speakers that will be released in the new year. The agenda brings together internationally renowned speakers, and we will be hearing from academic experts, researchers and charities.
The theme of 2026 is 'Innovation to improve mental health outcomes’. As such, we encourage abstract submissions linked to the theme for oral presentations or posters. We invite submissions from those working in the sector researching the Armed Forces community, including research on serving personnel, veterans and their families. In particular, we welcome submissions from early career researchers (ECRs). The abstract submissions guidance can be accessed here, and the deadline for submissions is Wednesday 14th January 2026.
There are multiple ticket options, including a 50% discount for Cobseo members, thanks to our sponsors the Forces in Mind Trust. If you are eligible, please email veterans-conference@kcl.ac.uk and ask for the Cobseo discount code/password. You must include your organisations name in your email, so we can verify you are a Cobseo member.
Please note each organisation is only entitled to a maximum of 2 discounted tickets and these are sold on a first come first served basis. There are only 25 discounted tickets available.
The Centre for Evidence for the Armed Forces Community Conference will conveniently be held at the same location the day before, and we are also offering a small discount to those who attend both days. More information about this event can be found on their website.
Included in your ticket, there will be a canape reception held on the evening of Wednesday 13th May 2026, where there will be ample opportunity to network with colleagues, old and new, from across the sector.
If you have any queries, please do get in touch veterans-conference@kcl.ac.uk.
