Pediatric gastroenterology concentrates rapid clinical developments that affect care pathways in hospitals and specialist units. Against this backdrop, the ESPGHAN Annual Meeting 2026 gathers clinicians and researchers focused on evidence based practice and hands-on training.
Practical dates and access for ESPGHAN Annual Meeting 2026
ESPGHAN Annual Meeting 2026 runs from 24 to 27 June 2026 in Helsinki. The official meeting site holds the scientific programme, registration options and access details for the virtual platform at https://espghancongress.org/. Sessions combine in-person learning zones with digital resources to follow up after the meeting.
Participant profile and headline figures
The meeting attracts an international body of professionals. Recent participation exceeded 6,000 delegates from more than 120 countries. The event processes over 2,000 abstracts and features upwards of 250 speakers, shaping a broad landscape of clinical research, diagnostic innovation and technical training in pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition.
Programme highlights and hands-on areas
The scientific agenda includes dedicated learning zones and practical workshops. Key topics cover endoscopy and motility, with specialist courses addressing pediatric IBD and nutritional management. The programme also supports early career investigators through awards and targeted forums for emerging research.
How to approach commercial and clinical outreach
Set clear objectives before arrival. Identify priority hospitals or research groups and prepare technical dossiers that present clinical outcomes and scientific validation. For medical device and diagnostics suppliers, bring documentation on efficacy, safety and regulatory status by market. Use the meeting platform to book meetings with industry contacts and clinicians and schedule demos in quieter time slots to allow detailed technical discussions.
Operational networking for vendors and clinical teams
In a meeting of thousands and hundreds of speakers, visibility comes from pre-scheduled meetings, concise technical presentations and clinical case examples showing real-world impact. Use learning zones and practical sessions to demonstrate applications in pediatric patients and have a single, shareable technical PDF ready for rapid distribution through the virtual platform or email.
Closing note
For teams engaged in pediatric gastroenterology, align attendance with clinical goals and a short list of target contacts.
