Names associated with the chapter include Paulina Salminen as IFSO-EC president and Ralph Peterli as IFSO-EC Congress 2027 president. Violeta Moize chairs the Integrated Health Committee. These roles frame the clinical and multidisciplinary orientation of the event.
Practical information for Ifso-EC 2027
Ifso-EC 2027 takes place at Messe München between 18 and 21 May 2027. The venue supports concurrent scientific sessions and areas for industry presence, alongside the chapter’s digital and educational resources. The event website provides registration details and access to organizational materials.
Attendee profile and thematic focus
The congress targets bariatric and metabolic surgeons, integrated health teams and clinical researchers involved in obesity management. The chapter’s activity emphasizes surgical techniques, nutritional management, outcome assessment and coordination with endocrinology and related specialties.
Program elements and chapter resources
IFSO-EC lists a number of resources that complement the congress program. These include a digital campus, members area, journals, video material, podcasts, webinars and a patient area. The chapter also runs scholarship programs and maintains clinical guidelines that feed into the event’s scientific content.
These resources suggest the congress blends in-person sessions with digital learning and publication channels, enabling attendees to access reference material before and after the meeting.
Commercial outreach and meeting preparation
Approach the congress with clinical evidence and a clear agenda. Practical steps for commercial teams:
-
Bring concise clinical dossiers. Summaries of outcome data, safety records and regulatory documentation speed professional conversations with surgical teams and integrated health committees.
-
Prioritize case evidence over promotional content. Case series, follow-up metrics and peer reviewed references open technical discussions and support clinical adoption.
-
Plan meetings in advance and identify local partners. Engaging national societies and hospital departments before the event increases the number of qualified encounters during the congress days.
Translate key materials where relevant and tailor conversations to the clinical role of interlocutors rather than using generic sales collateral.
Closing note
Ifso-EC 2027 presents a concentrated forum for clinical exchange in bariatric and metabolic surgery. Companies and clinical teams that foreground robust clinical evidence and use the chapter’s digital resources will find more productive interactions.
