On behalf of the ACP-i 2025 Organising Committee, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all our speakers, panellists, sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees for bringing your expertise, ideas, and energy to Yugambeh Country on the sunny Gold Coast, Australia 👏

The 9th International Advance Care Planning Conference was a truly inspiring event! Over three dynamic days on the Gold Coast Australia, we tackled the core theme, ‘Are we there yet?’, exploring the current landscape of Advance Care Planning (ACP) from vital cultural, personal, organisational, systemic, and global angles.

The overwhelming consensus? The journey toward universal, quality ACP is not yet complete. But we didn't leave empty-handed. We depart with renewed clarity, courage, and commitment, ready to transform ACP from a hopeful aspiration into a lived reality for all people, everywhere.

✨ It’s the final day of the 9th Advance Care Planning International Conference!

Over the past three days, we’ve explored how research, policy, technology, and lived experience are shaping the future of advance care planning. We’ve been moved by personal stories of dignity, choice, and care that honours the individual, and inspired by the insights, strategies, and collaborations shared across health systems, communities, and organisations.

A heartfelt thank you to our co-host, Advance Care Planning International, and event organiser Carillon Conference Management (CCM) for helping bring this global gathering to life.

Together, we can make advance care planning not just an aspiration, but a lived reality for all people, everywhere.

Safe travels home, and let’s keep the conversation going.

What’s the difference between an advance care directive and an advance care plan? If you’ve explored our new website, you might notice something missing – we no longer use the term ‘advance care plan’.

This wasn’t accidental – we’ve made a considered decision to avoid using it. Read our latest blog to find out why 👉 https://bit.ly/45F3qiv
