Why Belfast? A Must-Visit Conference Destination
Belfast is a city that blends rich history, cutting-edge innovation, and warm hospitality — making it the perfect host for the British Intrapartum Care Society's 2025 Conference. Set against the iconic backdrop of Titanic Belfast, delegates can look forward to world-class conference facilities in a venue that celebrates the city’s proud industrial and maritime heritage.
Just a short flight from most major UK cities, Belfast offers easy access and a compact, walkable city centre filled with vibrant culture, award-winning food, and stunning coastal scenery just minutes away. With a growing reputation for excellence in healthcare and research, it’s not just a beautiful setting — it’s a city that aligns with the values and vision of modern intrapartum care.
