Thank you for attending the 19th WFOT Congress

On behalf of the organising and scientific committees of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT), we extend our gratitude and thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the 19th WFOT Congress in Bangkok, Thailand.

This year’s event brought together more than 2,300 delegates from over 100 countries, featured speakers representing more than 70 countries – and welcomed sponsors from across the globe. The Congress truly served as a worldwide gathering for the profession, showcasing extensive research and practice experiences.

It was wonderful to witness participants exchange their unique stories in occupational therapy with one another. Your energy, engagement and support made the event truly special. We are grateful to celebrate and connect with such an inspiring global occupational therapy community once again.

We look forward to seeing you in 2030.
