Some congress moments stay with us a little longer...

Euroanaesthesia 2026 may be behind us, but the energy, conversations and shared sense of community are still very much with us.

In Rotterdam, EA26 brought together thousands of participants for three inspiring days of science, learning, innovation and connection. From scientific sessions and hands-on workshops to poster discussions, industry exchange and countless conversations across the congress centre, EA26 once again showed the strength of our European and global anaesthesiology and intensive care community.

This success would not have been possible without the many people and teams who contributed to making EA26 happen.

To everyone who played a part — whether on stage, in the audience, at the poster boards, in the workshops, at the exhibition stands, behind the registration desks, in the meeting rooms, backstage, online or behind the scenes — thank you. 💙

To our delegates, speakers, chairs, moderators, abstract and poster presenters, workshop faculty, trainees, volunteers, industry partners, exhibitors, National Anaesthesiologists Societies Committee representatives, Specialist Societies, International Societies, the Scientific Committee, the ESAIC Board, the Organising Committee, our suppliers, congress partners, the Rotterdam Ahoy team, the city of Rotterdam and the entire ESAIC community — thank you for helping make EA26 such a memorable and successful congress. ✨ YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

Your expertise, dedication, collaboration and enthusiasm made the difference.

Thank you for being part of EA26.

We now carry this momentum forward, towards Euroanaesthesia 2027 in Copenhagen. 🇩🇰
