Join us aboard the MS Stubnitz at ICEM 2026 for the YoungDGINA Barfest — where the legacy of the sea meets the future of Emergency Medicine.

What makes this evening special is not just its destination, but the path we take to get there. The ICEM Night at Süllberg is not a typical social event – it’s an experience in motion. A night that tells a story: about Hamburg, about Germany, about what it means to come together.

We start where Hamburg breathes: on the River Elbe. In homage to the traditional „Butterfahrten“ – low-cost boat trips, that were once a vital part of northern Germany’s working-class culture – we board a ship and leave the city behind. With music, conversation, and the skyline drifting past, the evening begins just as ICEM intends: relaxed, inclusive, and shared.

Upon arrival in Blankenese, we walk – the way it’s done here – a fifteen-minute climb through quiet streets, side by side. It’s a simple, but meaningful act: time to move, to talk, to be present. A typically German moment between nature, rhythm, and connection.

At the top of Süllberg, what began on the water continues: an evening that brings people together. Under the open sky, we celebrate what unites us – with a culinary journey through German cuisine, with music that speaks across cultures, and an atmosphere inspired by the great opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games: joyful, diverse, and genuinely warm.

This night is not the end of a conference day – it’s a highlight. And maybe the beginning of something new.
