The ICS scientific programme structure has been updated for 2016, offering an innovative and exciting experience for delegates. The ICS 2016 meeting will have a shorter programme over 4 days, meaning less time away from your office and patients. With many innovative features built into the programme you will benefit from the networking opportunities that our integrated programme affords - with podium and eposter abstract presentations, interactive workshops, didactic lectures and panel discussions covering a wide range of clinical and basic science topics catering for a multi-disciplinary audience. If you are a continence professional or researcher then ICS 2016 is the landmark meeting you need to attend this year to build your knowledge and advance your career.
