2026-01-28 / 09:00 AM to 2026-01-28 / 05:00 PM [Timezone: Europe/Berlin]
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd Edition of the Tirol Urogynaecology Summit held in the Beautiful city of Innsbruck, a premier event in the field of urogynaecology, organised by the Tirol Kliniken-Hall District Hospital, bringing together clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and trainees from across Europe.
This year’s symposium is particularly special — not only because of the cutting-edge topics we’ll be covering, but also because of the format we’ve designed to maximize learning and interaction. We‘re proud to offer a truly hybrid experience, with participants joining us both in person and online. Live participants will have the opportunity to:
• Learn directly from renowned European experts through live lectures and interactive discussions
• Observe live surgical procedures, offering real-time insight into operative decision-making and advanced techniques.
We are deeply grateful to our esteemed faculty for sharing their expertise, and to our organizing committee, partners, and sponsors for making this ambitious program possible.
We invite you to engage fully – ask questions, share insights, and make the most of this unique learning opportunity.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Tirol Urogynaecology Summit online.
Let‘s begin an exciting and enriching journey together.
