ESGE news and upcoming events February 2026

ESGE Days 2026

Our annual meeting promises to be a highlight in every endoscopist's year, with one full day of live endoscopy from the Humanitas University Medical School in Milan, specialist pathways from Young Endoscopists to ERCP, 11 scientific partnering societies from across the globe, and 12 concurrent sessions running over 3 days!

New this year is the Safe Sedation Course, which focuses on endoscopic procedural sedation, and will be exclusively in-person on the day before the main event (Wednesday 13 May). Under the direction of Professor Stefano Romagnoli, this course will offer a limited number of participants the opportunity to dive deep into critical aspects of sedation in the clinical setting, with a mixture of hands-on and didactic teaching based on new ESGE guidance.

ESGE Days 2026 will also see the launch of the following 3 Special Interest Groups (SIGs): ESD, HPB and Bariatric Endoscopy. The ESD SIG will connect clinicians across Europe and beyond, supporting guideline adoption, multicenter research, and case-based dialogue. The HPB community will help shape future curricula, drive multicenter trials, and provide continuous peer-to-peer exchange through ESGE Academy. The Bariatric Endoscopy will serve as a nucleus for education, research, and community-building. Join the dedicated SIG sessions if you are keen to know more.
