The UK Imaging and Oncology (UKIO) Congress has released its full conference programme, promising a range of multidisciplinary sessions, plenaries and discussions.
UKIO is an annual conference that presents cutting-edge content designed for a multidisciplinary audience spanning diagnostic imaging, oncology and radiological sciences. As well as this, UKIO runs a professional exhibition that features pioneering equipment, services and technology.
The 2026 congress will take place from 8-10 June at the ACC Liverpool. This year’s theme is ‘Putting humanity at the centre of healthcare: In the age of the machine’, emphasising the industry’s aim to keep humanity at the core of radiological treatment.
What can attendees expect?
Released this week, the 2026 UKIO programme outlines the full range of events happening over the two-day conference.
Along with dedicated plenaries and parallel sessions, the lineup also includes the usual dedicated sessions for students and trainees, as well as workshops, curated sessions in collaboration with industry partners and a wellbeing programme.
Two new developments for 2026 have also been integrated into the conference features: a dedicated stream will run for radiologists throughout the conference, providing updates for on-call and delivering district general hospital (DGH) radiology, and a new-look stream will run for radiology trainees.
