Minimally invasive gynecological surgery keeps evolving through new devices and refined techniques. In October 2026 clinicians and industry players convene in Krakow to assess those advances and the skills required to use them.
35th edition and location
The 35th Annual Congress of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy takes place from 4 to 7 October 2026 in Krakow. The schedule begins with pre-congress activities on 4 October and integrates practical training alongside scientific sessions.
Practical program elements
The event includes the YEP Exchange Programme for junior gynaecologists, a Pre-Congress Day on 4 October and hands on training covering suturing, hysteroscopic techniques, laparoscopy and robotic surgery. Live surgery transmissions are part of the program and GESEA certifications are offered with levels L1 and L2 plus a robotics certificate, reinforcing the congress focus on skills and competency.
Organization and scientific leadership
Key figures involved include Prof. Ertan Saridogan as ESGE President, Prof. Rafał Stojko as Congress President and Ass. Prof. Paweł Basta as Chair of the local organising committee. Scientific chairs listed are Prof. Pierre Collinet and Dr. Luis Alonso Pacheco. Professional organiser EUROKONGRESS GmbH manages exhibition and sponsorship logistics.
Industry presence and exhibition
The congress provides an exhibition floor plan, sponsors and exhibitors list, industry symposia and spaces for corporate engagement. These formats suit companies offering hysteroscopy systems, laparoscopic instruments and robotic platforms that require clinician interaction and technical demonstration.
B2B outreach and practical tips
Target messages to clinical outcomes and procedural advantages since the audience is evidence oriented. Prioritise hands on demonstrations where possible and coordinate with the organisers about symposia and exhibition slots to secure visibility. Align product training with GESEA certification streams to reach delegates engaged in formal skill development.
