Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland UK

Cleft 2022 will be hybrid! (in person and virtual)

We are looking forward to welcoming all of you to Edinburgh… but we also want to make sure we include anyone who may not be able to travel. So, we are very pleased to announce that Cleft 2022 will be a hybrid event.

Virtual attendees will:

– Access all talks, panels and presentations
– Have access to our online networking hub
– Gain CME points for attending the congress

We hope to see you in person (or virtually) at Edinburgh Cleft 2022!

Dear Friends,

On behalf of my colleagues in Edinburgh and the CFSGBI, I warmly invite you to join us in July 2022, for the 14th International Cleft Congress.
Our custom built conference venue, the EICC, is surrounded by a range of hotels, and cafes, in the very heart of Edinburgh – a short walk from many famous tourist sites, such as Edinburgh Castle and the Queen’s Palace at Holyrood. Our long summer days leave plenty of time to explore, with 17 hours of daylight.
We have much to learn from each other by sharing clinical experience, audit and research and building on and developing new collaborations. As we say in Scotland – Ceud mìlle fàilte (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes)!
