A Certificate of Attendance will be available for all delegates attending the ECE 2026 Congress.
ECE 2026 will apply for accredition by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) for European CME credits (ECMEC®s).
Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.
Please note that in order to receive CME accreditation you will need to be scanned into each session.
Following the Congress all attendees will be sent an evaluation form by email to complete. This will also be made available via the ECE 2026 Congress platform. All feedback will make a considerable difference and help us to improve future congresses. Following completion of the evaluation form a CME certificate will be emailed within 14 working days of the survey closing date.
Please send any questions about CME certificates to ece2026-congress@interplan.de
For the ECE@HOME content, CME points will only be awarded if:
- You have completed an evaluation for each session you attended (this is only triggered once at least 20 minutes has been viewed)
- The post-event survey is completed.
One CME point will be awarded per hour viewed. Your CME points will be calculated based on your total live viewing time over the four live Congress days, providing the above criteria has been met.
CME accreditation will also be available for ESE On Demand content.
The Czech Republic only accepts its own currency, the Czech koruna (CZK) for payments around Prague.
Please note, that ECE 2026 will only accept Euros as official tender .
ECE 2026 includes a commercial exhibition. Only registered delegates are allowed in the exhibition area.
The exhibition is an integral part of the Congress and can be directly accessed from a number of session rooms. All catering will be served within the exhibition area, which also contains the ECE Hub (North Hall). Be sure to visit the many companies participating at the Congress, as well as the Patient Experience Zone, the Because Hormones Matter booth and the ESE booth.
All Congress rules are applicable within the exhibition hall and on booths. Exhibiting companies are responsible for their exhibition space and therefore responsible for safety and cleanliness, while the general spaces will be overseen by members of the Congress team.
A First Aid room will be available at the venue. Please address the registration or the ESE booth if you or someone you are with needs assistance.
Hot and cold drinks and lunches are included in the registration fee for a full Congress in-person ticket and will be served daily in the exhibition area. The catering areas will be staffed to serve food and drink during breaks and lunch. Water is available throughout the Congress venue, and we encourage you to bring your reusable bottle.
The official language of ECE 2026 is English.
There will be a dedicated Room of Silence at ECE 2026.
At ESE we recognise the growing impact our activities and events have on the environment, therefore the printed programme book you will receive in Prague will contain key information only. We encourage you to view the abstract list electronically and make full use of the Congress platform, where you will also find the Congress e-Bag containing the Meet the Expert Handbook and many other useful resources to support your Congress experience.
You can read about ESE’s Green Commitment here.
We are looking forward to you joining us for ECE 2026, which will be taking place in the wonderful city of Prague! We would like to help you make the most of your visit and travel around the city with confidence, so we have created this guide to ensure you have a safe and smooth journey before, during and after the Congress.

We are not able to accept registrations for any accompanying people (including spouses and children) at ECE 2026. This is due to health and safety considerations and our adherence to the Pharmaceutical Code of Practice around the promotion of products to non-Health Care Professionals.
For registered delegates who are parents with small infants and babes in arms, there will be a nursing room available close to the main registration area. Please ask the staff at the Registration Desk to show you where this is.
There are no childcare facilities onsite at the Congress, therefore childcare should be arranged separately in Prague. To comply with insurance and safety requirements, infants must always be held or be in a pushchair. Entry to the nursing room is subject to all regular ECE 2026 Congress entry regulations.
Babies are permitted to enter the Congress venue with their parent/carer to travel to and from the nursing room only. Please note that children and spouses are not permitted in any ECE 2026 session halls, exhibition areas or adjoining spaces.
We thank you for your understanding.
At ECE 2026 Congress ensuring the privacy and security of your personal data is paramount. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we want to inform you about the badge scanning processes we have in place during the event. There are two primary purposes for badge scanning:
CME Certification Collection
To facilitate the issuance of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and certificates, you will need to scan into the session room. This process is essential for tracking attendance and ensuring you receive credit for participating in educational activities. Your data will be used solely for the purpose of verifying attendance and issuing certificates. Please note that CME points are not offered at industry sponsored sessions.
Commercial Exhibition/Industry Sponsored Session Attendance
Exhibitors within the commercial exhibition hall and sponsors of satellite symposia, Mini-satellites and Congress Theatre sessions may request to scan your badge. In this case, by agreeing to have your badge scanned, you are agreeing to share your name, email address and country information directly with the sponsor/exhibitor. This information can be used by the sponsor/exhibitor to send further details or follow-up information after the Congress. Please note that scanning by company representatives or agencies is optional and subject to your consent.
For CME Certification Collection, scanning is mandatory to receive certification. By attending these sessions, your details will be collated for CME certification.
For industry sessions and commercial exhibition, badge scanning is entirely voluntary. You will be asked for your consent before your badge is scanned, ensuring you have control over the sharing of your contact information.
All data collected through badge scanning is processed in accordance with GDPR guidelines. We take your privacy seriously and implement stringent measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration.
We are committed to ensuring a seamless and secure experience for all attendees. If you have any questions or need further clarification on our badge scanning processes, please visit the Joint Congress event team at the organisers office or email to ece2026-congress@interplan.de
