Welcome Letter

Dear ESGO Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Scientific Programme Committee, it is our immense pleasure to welcome you to the 27th European Congress on Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO 2026) in Copenhagen, Denmark, from February 26–28, 2026. We are honoured to host this gathering of brilliant minds, passionate professionals in the field of gynaecological oncology, and dedicated advocates for patient care.

Copenhagen, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and commitment to innovation, provides the perfect setting for us to come together and advance the global fight against cancer. Over the days of the congress, we will share knowledge, explore cutting-edge research, and engage in meaningful discussions that will shape the future of cancer care and treatment.

This congress is an opportunity to not only connect with peers but to collaborate and inspire one another. From groundbreaking scientific discoveries to the latest advancements in patient care, each of you plays a crucial role in the continued progress we are making in the field of gynaecological oncology.

ESGO 2026 will feature a diverse and dynamic lineup of scientific sessions designed to inspire collaboration, foster learning, and drive the future of oncology, including debates on emerging topics, sessions dedicated to the presentation and discussion of clinical guidelines, tumour boards, industry sessions, and various abstract sessions including the popular video sessions, oral communications, and poster walks. In an exciting new format, we are introducing the Grand Rounds panel discussion, where patients and experts will share their experiences in an open, interactive setting.

The motto of this congress "The Wind of Innovation in Women's Cancer" symbolizes the momentum of new technologies, research breakthroughs, and evolving approaches that are reshaping the landscape of women’s health.
As we embark on this exciting journey, we are reminded of the importance of our collective efforts. The challenges we face in the fight against cancer are great, but so are the possibilities for innovation and progress. Together, we will make a lasting impact.

We encourage you to take full advantage of the sessions, networking opportunities, and the vibrant city around you. Let this congress be a source of inspiration and collaboration that will propel us forward in our shared mission.
Once again, welcome to Copenhagen. We look forward to an engaging and successful congress with all of you!

Warm regards,
