The Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses (CIAP) is a biennial international research conference on cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants. The series began in 1983, and its first three meetings were held under the auspices of the Gordon Research Conferences. According to the official site, attendance grew from about 50 participants in 1983 to 450 in 2011.
The conference is known for substantial invited talks by experts in their fields, with a large share of programme time set aside for discussion. Rather than tutorials, reviews or summaries of clinical data, the programme focuses on current research. Participants come from disciplines ranging from auditory neurophysiology, electrochemistry and biomaterials to cognitive psychology, language development and speech science.
CIAP 2027, the 44th anniversary meeting of the series, takes place on 11–15 July 2027 at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in the Canadian Rockies. The 2023 meeting was held at Granlibakken, Lake Tahoe, California. The residential format, with all participants on one campus, continues in 2027, and the announcement poster notes that streaming options will be available.
