A conference model created for those who move the field forward
Bringing science closer to practice
More than discussing evidence, this format brings specialists and professionals together to transform knowledge into real clinical application.
Taking part means belonging
Being here means more than following discussions, it means contributing to the paths Speech-Language Pathology will take in the coming years.
Less stage.
More exchange.
An international meeting designed to bring participants and experts closer, encouraging dialogue and collaborative learning.
Clinical practice, research and teaching in the same room
When the focus is on the real challenges of the profession, different fields connect to generate more consistent and effective solutions.

What will it feel like to be here?
When professionals from different countries, cultures and realities come together to discuss the same challenges, something shifts.
Your thinking broadens.
New ideas appear.
Solutions start to feel possible.
This isn’t just “content”
It expands your ability to analyse, decide and create — because exchanging perspectives strengthens your clinical reasoning, your repertoire, and your professional clarity.
And being in the Amazon only deepens that experience
A setting outside your usual routine that supports focus, presence and openness to new ways of seeing. Belém isn’t just the venue — it’s part of the experience.
