Why join?

Digestive Endoscopy has undergone an extraordinary transformation, driven by relentless technological innovation and the introduction of increasingly sophisticated devices and digital platforms. These advances have elevated endoscopy from a purely diagnostic tool to a strategic pillar in the management of digestive diseases across diverse clinical environments. Cutting-edge solutions—such as artificial intelligence, real-time image enhancement software, and highly precise minimally invasive therapeutic systems—are reshaping the endoscopist’s workflow, improving diagnostic accuracy, procedural safety, and therapeutic success. As a result, patient outcomes, quality of life, and long-term prognoses are being profoundly redesigned.

ENDOMED 2026 – BACK FROM THE FUTURE aims to accelerate this evolution within the Mediterranean area—a unique crossroads of history, cultures, and scientific exchange. By fostering shared knowledge, harmonizing technical standards, and strengthening cross-border collaborations, ENDOMED 2026 aspires to transform regional diversity into collective strength. After the momentum achieved in 2024 and 2025, the 2026 edition further consolidates a united network of excellence connecting leading endoscopic centers in Egypt, France, Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. These hubs operate as innovation engines, disseminating best practices and generating tangible clinical impact.

Through direct interaction and live endoscopy sessions, ENDOMED 2026 will provide participants with practical, future-ready tools to incorporate advanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies into everyday clinical practice—quite literally bringing the future back to the present.
