CASES is thrilled and honoured to host a revamped combined student and professional conference at Manchester Metropolitan University from 3 to 4 June 2026.

"Manchester Metropolitan University has a strong link to CASES and sports science in general, with the University having hosted the CASES Student Conference in April 2024 and many associated CASES events prior to this.

Manchester is renowned for its vibrant music scene, iconic football clubs (Manchester United and Manchester City), and its role in the Industrial Revolution, making it a city with a rich cultural and historical heritage. Manchester Metropolitan University is known for its high-quality teaching, research, and student-centred learning environment. It's also recognised for its commitment to social inclusion and facility development.

The 2026 Conference will take place on campus, with the venue being close to affordable hotel accommodation and a short distance from Manchester's city centre. The Conference Scientific Planning Group has worked hard to include quality scientific presentations across all sport and exercise disciplines, and we aim to bring together students, academics, the sports business industry and the scientific community. We invite you to CASES 2026 at Manchester Metropolitan University and look forward to providing a great learning event, including many networking and social opportunities."
