About ICEM2026

On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the International Conference on Emergency Medicine will be held in Germany for the first time, and in one of the most attractive and open-minded metropolises in the world: Hamburg, the gateway to the world.

A high-class scientific programme will be framed by an extraordinary accompanying programme, united by the Olympic idea – a meeting across all borders. We are not only bringing the participants together in one of the most modern congress centres in Europe – the participants will also come together outside the official conference times in the ICEM Village, the Hamburg-Überseequartier, which will open in 2024: cosmopolitan, open-minded and urban – this is where networking 2.0 takes place.

Background information: What is this egg all about?

The egg symbolizes the creation of something new, something unprecedented. Nobody knows today what is inside. Something special is growing inside and will emerge – just like at our conference.

Fun fact: The German word for egg is Ei, pronounced like the “I” in ICEM.
