Conference information & Logistics

The 2024 CABS conference will take place in person July 12-14, 2024 at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England. The CABS conference will begin on the last day of the Bone Research Society (BRS) conference, taking place July 10-12, 2024 at the University of Sheffield. CABS conference sessions will be held on the University of Sheffield campus in Halifax Hall and the Edge building. Attendees are encouraged to register for both conferences and discounts will be available.

Hotel rooms are held at the Halifax Hall Hotel and the Jonas Hotel (single occupancy only) for CABS. A registration link is forthcoming and you will be able to book either hotel - please check back soon for the link and more details! The July 12 and July 14 CABS sessions will be held at Halifax Hall (July 13 sessions will be at The Edge, a short walk away), so if you stay at this hotel you will be onsite for those days.
