In October 2023, World Abilitysport hosted a conference in Edinburgh on physical activity and health for individuals with CP and other neurological conditions.

The conference attracted researchers, healthcare professionals, coaches, patients, and family members interested in providing a platform for knowledge sharing and discussion of the latest advancements in research. Participants had the opportunity to present their own research findings, projects, and experiences both in-person and online, as well as engage in workshops and discussions.

Some of the presentations focused on the social, psychological, and physical benefits of Frame Running, offering insights and new initiatives to discuss research, classification, exercise, and inclusion. The conference also included workshops and interactive sessions where participants could actively engage in discussions and practical activities, fostering opportunities for sharing experiences and hands-on learning.
