Dear Colleagues and Friends
We would like to invite you to the 35th Annual Congress of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy, which will take place in Kraków, Poland, from 4th to 7th October 2026. The ESGE Annual Congresses bring clinicians, scientists, innovators and manufacturers from all over the world together and have become the leading global platform for the exchange of experience, ideas and debate. With our growing membership and attendance at the Congresses, the 35th Annual Congress promises to be another lively and exciting event.
The Congress will start again with the YEP Exchange Programme, which will enable young gynaecologists from all parts of the world to visit gynaecological endoscopy centres in Poland, during the week before the main Congress. The Pre-Congress Day on 4th October 2026 will give an excellent opportunity to discuss contemporary subjects with world-renowned experts and access hands-on training in suturing, hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
The Congress is taking place in the vibrant city of Kraków, where ancient history intertwines with the lively fabric of a modern city, with famous Slavic hospitality. Kraków, the former capital of Poland, is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland, dating back to the seventh century. Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, economic, cultural and artistic life, which makes it a suitable site for our Congress. With convenient travel links from all parts of the world, it is an easy destination to reach.
We have no doubt that the Congress will be an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues, view or demonstrate new technologies and techniques and make new friends.
We are excited to see you in Kraków in October 2026.
