Digestive health research is driving changes across clinical practice and industry pipelines. UEG Week 2026 brings clinicians, scientists and companies together for four days in Barcelona and online from 17 to 20 October.
Dates and venue for UEG Week 2026
UEG Week 2026 takes place 17 to 20 October in Barcelona and online. The in-person hub is Fira Gran Via, North Entrance. A congress platform will be available from 15 October to support both remote and on-site participation.
Key figures to guide your planning
Prior attendance figures show 12,100 registrants. The 2025 programme recorded over 5,200 postgraduate teaching registrations, 4,168 submitted abstracts and participants from 118 countries. These figures help estimate the academic density and the competitive landscape for exhibitor visibility.
Programme highlights and CME accreditation
The agenda combines scientific sessions with practical training. Hands-on training covers endoscopy and ultrasound with limited seats and workshop registrations opening on 12 October at 10:00 CEST. UEG Week 2026 carries up to 23.5 European CME credits; credit capture is handled by badge scanning onsite and automatic recording for live online sessions.
Exhibitors and thematic areas
The industry exhibition features pharmaceutical and medical device companies presenting therapies and diagnostic innovations. Dedicated zones such as the Innovation Hub and Nutrition Hub allow focused demonstrations relevant to clinical application. Companies active in endoscopy, imaging and liver disease therapies will find concentrated engagement with technical and clinical decision makers.
Practical prospecting and networking tactics
- Schedule meetings via the congress platform to secure time with key researchers and procurement leads. The platform opens 15 October.
- Use Hands-on sessions and the Training Hub for product demonstrations that require technical interaction.
- Prepare compact technical dossiers and digital follow-up resources highlighting clinical evidence and data access points.
- Design brief, repeatable demos at the stand to maximize visitor throughput and facilitate direct comparisons.
Guidance for clinical attendees
The Postgraduate Teaching stream delivers practice-oriented updates. The combination of on-site attendance and the online platform enables access to live sessions and recordings. If clinical skills training is your priority, register early for endoscopy and ultrasound workshops to secure a place.
In closing, UEG Week 2026 preserves a dual focus on hands-on clinical training and dissemination of multidisciplinary research, relevant for clinicians and industry alike. Plan sessions and meetings via the official site at https://ueg.eu/week to organize attendance, book workshops and coordinate meetings across the congress days.
