About the event
WCCS Regional Events (RE) are held annually, lasting 2-3 days in each region. It aims to provide a platform for chiropractic students in that specific region to connect, learn, and engage in international exchange on topics like research, education, and techniques. Featuring speakers and interactive workshops, Regional Events encourage active participation and practical skill development. The European Regional Event in 2026 will be held from April 9 to April 11, in the Edinburgh, Scotland. The event will be proudly hosted by the WCCS Chapter at the Scotland Chiropractic College (SCC) and they are thrilled to welcome delegates from across the European region, offering a fantastic program featuring inspiring speakers, engaging workshops, and a vibrant social itinerary.
The theme of this year’s event is “Unity Through Diversity.” We are hosting ten guest speakers from the UK and abroad, including several who are internationally recognised leaders in their fields, delivering a combination of lectures and practical workshops.
The programme covers the full breadth of chiropractic, including technique, philosophy, science and research, paediatrics, business, and life after graduation.
Registrations are now open.
