IFPC 2026 will be held from 2–5 November 2026 at the NIMHANS Convention Centre, Hosur Road, Bengaluru, India.

Bengaluru is pleasant in November, with daytime temperatures of 18–25°C. A light jacket is recommended for cooler evenings, along with comfortable walking shoes and a compact umbrella for occasional showers.

The conference is co-hosted by NIMHANS, Bengaluru and RANZCP (the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists).

The theme is 'Bridging the Gap,' focused on strengthening the interface between research, clinical practice, law, and rehabilitation in forensic psychiatry, and on deepening collaboration between Australia, New Zealand, and India.

The conference is designed for psychiatry trainees, psychiatrists, forensic medicine professionals, mental health professionals, and law professionals.

Registration is completed through the official registration portal. It includes access to all workshops and scientific sessions, daily lunch, snacks and refreshments, the two-day cultural programme, and two official conference dinners. Accommodation is not included.
