We’ve received a deluge of abstracts over the past 48 hours, and due to continued strong interest and at the request of our global community, we are pleased to announce that the GIN2026 abstract submission deadline has just been extended!

The new (and final) deadline: 5:00pm (GMT) Friday 27 February 2026.

If you’ve not yet submitted, please ensure you do so by this date (or as soon as possible – we may need to close the portal sooner if we reach capacity!).

GIN2026, taking place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will bring together guideline developers, researchers, clinicians, policymakers and implementation leaders from across the world to advance evidence-based healthcare.

We are still welcoming submissions across our conference tracks, including:

• Guideline development methodology
• Implementation & knowledge translation
• Patient and public involvement
• Digital innovation & AI in guidelines
• Health systems, policy & global collaboration
• Equity, sustainability and future challenges in healthcare

This extension offers additional time to share your work, research and practical experience with an international audience shaping the future of clinical guidelines.

Conference & Travel Grants

For those wishing to apply for our Conference & Travel Grant the deadline for this is also now extended to the same date – Friday 27 February 2026.

GIN2026 offers a unique opportunity to present your work, connect with professionals in your field, and engage in knowledge exchange and capacity building. It also provides the chance to learn from—and contribute to—GIN’s working groups and regional communities throughout the conference.

GIN recognises that financial barriers may prevent some members from participating in our annual conference. Our aim is to make the Conference as accessible as possible while actively supporting diversity and inclusiveness.

Since 2011, GIN has provided funding to help members cover conference attendance related costs so they can attend the annual conference, present their work, network, and take part in this key event in the guideline community.

As a small charity, our funds are limited and may vary from year to year. However, we are committed to offering meaningful support to eligible members so they can benefit fully from the conference experience.

The GIN Board has allocated a budget to support members from LMIC (Lower-Middle-Income Countries) and UMIC (Upper-Middle-Income Countries) in attending GIN2026.

Each grant is worth up to £1,500 to be used toward:

  • economy transport
  • up to 3 nights’ accommodation
  • Conference registration fees
  • Visa fees

Active GIN members who live and work/study in an LMIC or UMIC are invited to apply. Non-members are encouraged to review the assessment criteria carefully, and then if you wish to apply you may join GIN as a member at the same time.
