The value of CME/CPD
The 18th Annual European CME Forum will take place 5–7 November 2025 at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester, UK.
Registration and the Call for abstracts are now open! Keep an eye on this page as the agenda evolves.
The meeting structure will be similar to 17ECF; we will start at 9.00am on the Wednesday morning, with core skills and stakeholder group-led sessions, then move on to a series of plenary sessions, oral presentations, workshops and breakouts to cover the key topics around European and global CME-CPD. The meeting will finish lunchtime on the Friday.
The theme this year is "The value of CME/CPD" which we will explore from a number of angles with a special focus on our "learners". The overall aim of the meeting is to review the current status of CME/CPD and provide practical guidance and education on developments, best practices and emerging themes, to help us reflect on and improve CME/CPD practices among education providers from medical societies, professional education providers, regulators, CME accreditors and supporting pharma companies.
Make sure to be signed up to receive notification emails, and to have deeper access into this website that provides you with the largest resource about CME in Europe.
We look forward to seeing you in Manchester!
