The Together for Short Lives Conference returns in 2027 as a landmark event for children’s palliative care. Taking place on Tuesday 18 May 2027 at The Vox in Birmingham, Building Tomorrow Together will unite professionals, sector leaders, policymakers, researchers and system-change advocates to connect, collaborate and learn.

Discounted early bird tickets are now available for Together for Short Lives members and non-members.

Children’s palliative care is at a pivotal moment. As demand continues to grow in both volume and complexity against a backdrop of workforce challenges, fragile funding and shifting healthcare priorities, a shared vision for the future has never been more important.

That’s why Building tomorrow together is more than a conference. It’s an unparalleled opportunity for the sector to come together to shape its very future.

The conference will focus on three strategic themes:

  • Inclusion: Going beyond borders to deliver equitable care for every family
  • Excellence: Empowering the people, communities and services that families depend on
  • Sustainability: Building resilient services fit for the future.

With a host of leading speakers, thought-provoking sessions and interactive workshops in our brand-new Innovation Theatre, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical insights and inspiring conversations to help inform and strengthen our collective impact and drive meaningful change for the children and families you support.
