Last week, we held our 2025 Autumn Meeting in the great city of Nottingham. It truly was a fantastic 3 days. We’d like to thank all who attended in person and online, as well as everyone who presented, contributed to, moderated or chaired a session.
Thanks also to all those who took the time to let us know how much they enjoyed and valued the event. Your feedback really does help us continue to run events that best serve you.
Below are some of the kind words we have received in the last few days.
The entire vibe of the day was one of hope.”
“Still reflecting on all the wonderful learning over these 3 days of knowledge sharing, connection building and restoration.”
“So probably my best day EVER”
“It’s my first #BGSconf and I absolutely want to attend in person next year! Absolutely fascinating so far”
“I love this meeting every time – so much to learn, old friends, new friends, pragmatic optimism, hard science, evidence and making things better for older people and for all of us”
“This is my type of conference”
“Three full on days at the BGS Autumn Meeting and I’ve come away with lots of learning and inspiration to take back home to support our work on frailty”
“I’ve attended [conferences] before, but this one truly stood out with its practical insights, real stories, and genuine care. I honestly wish I had known about it earlier.
I also appreciated the thoughtful touches—such as the multi-faith prayer room, halal food options, and smooth logistics. These small details truly make a difference.”
“It was a pleasure to attend the British Geriatrics Society Autumn meeting last week. I really enjoyed engaging with the latest research in ageing and was grateful for the opportunity to share my own work that explores the predictors of care-home entry following psychiatric hospital admission…. I am looking forward to attending next year!”
“Thank you for a great conference. So many great sessions and people. I have been inspired. Thank you to everyone who organised it – great achievement and great venue”
“Fantastic conference”
“A fantastic conference dinner! One of the best I have been to”
“I had an amazing time at the BGS Autumn meeting, where I moderated a session for the first time. Bring on Spring 2026!!
“Thank you BGS! Thoroughly enjoyed the Autumn event over the last 3 days. Good networking opportunity as always.”
“Over time the #BGSconf has changed. It used to be we had to choose one of 3 great talks and miss the other 2. Now I have no excuse! I will be attending all 3 streams thanks to the recordings! Great stuff”
“Just wanted to say how well I found all the organisation of the conference and the content was excellent.”
“It was a really inspiring and well-run event.”
Thanks to all, and we’ll see you in Cardiff in April 2026.
