The World Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation 2026, presented by XR4REHAB and ISVR  offers a unique opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing global community advancing the future of technology and rehabilitation. Taking place on 25–26 June 2026 in University College Cork, Cork, Ireland, this event brings together researchers, academics, clinicians and developers who are shaping the next generation of XR-based rehabilitation practice.

As extended reality continues to transform healthcare, this conference provides an essential platform to explore cutting-edge developments, share innovative research, and experience new technologies firsthand. Delegates will have the chance to learn from international experts, engage in lively discussions, and discover how immersive technologies can improve outcomes for people living with a wide range of health conditions.

Whether your focus is clinical application, technical development, academic research, or industry innovation, the programme is designed to foster meaningful collaboration. Workshops, demonstrations, and interactive sessions will allow participants to deepen their understanding of XR tools, evaluate new interventions, and connect with colleagues facing similar challenges and opportunities in this evolving field.

Cork—known for its warm welcome, vibrant culture, and strong healthcare and technology ecosystem—provides the perfect setting for networking and forging new partnerships. By attending, you will help strengthen the global community committed to advancing virtual rehabilitation and shaping its future direction.

Join us in University College Cork in June 2026 to be part of a transformative event where business, practice, and research come together. Together, we can accelerate progress and improve care for the communities we serve.
