We are pleased to invite abstract submissions for the 12th International Conference on Children’s Bone Health (ICCBH)

ICCBH 2026 will convene leading researchers, clinicians, and allied health professionals to share the latest advances in paediatric bone science, clinical care, and translational research. We welcome abstracts that contribute to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of bone disorders in children and adolescents.

Whether as an oral communication or a poster, presenting your work at an ICCBH meeting provides you with an opportunity to:

  • Showcase your current work
  • Get support and feedback from others
  • Raise your profile among colleagues internationally and from multiple disciplines
  • Widen your network to open up new opportunities for future collaborations

Submission Guidelines

For detailed guidelines about submitting your abstract please click HERE.  These are also included in the online submission form.

Abstract Review process

Abstracts containing no data are unlikely to be accepted.  You must include results in your abstract unless you are describing a clinical case.

ICCBH 2026 abstracts are marked under blind conditions by a review panel on the basis of originality, scientific merit and significance.  Reviewers do not score abstracts when there is a potential or actual conflict of interest.  Submitted abstracts are primarily selected for oral/poster presentation on the basis of the scores achieved during the review process.  The Organisers reserve the right to make minimal adjustments to the final programme in order to maintain a breadth and balance of interests in the programme.

Publication

After the conference, abstracts will be published in JBMR® Plus (Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Plus).   

JBMR® Plus is the premier open access journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR). A companion to internationally recognized title Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, JBMR® Plus aims to improve global musculoskeletal health by publishing innovative research covering endocrinology, geriatrics, orthopedics and rheumatology.

Embargo policy

The abstracts will be published on the ICCBH conference website one week before the start of ICBBH 2026.  The abstracts are therefore embargoed until the abstracts have been published.  Posters accepted for ICCBH 2026 are embargoed until the start of the Conference.
