Register today for the IPSIS 2026 European Congress and take your place among the world's top interventional pain physicians as they examine the evidence that underpins the latest trends.
In April, we will convene in Hungary at the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest. This updated classic European luxury hotel is home to premium amenities, including Japanese-fusion restaurant Nobu, and is within easy reach of must-see attractions:
- From this chic Fashion Street location, you can take a romantic stroll on the Danube-spanning Széchenyi Chain Bridge promenade.
- A one-of-a-kind adventure awaits at the epicenter of Budapest’s cultural renaissance — the iconic Jewish Quarter ruin bars, where abandoned buildings have transformed into eclectic nightlife hotspots where vintage cars double as bar counters.
PRE-CONGRESS BIO-SKILLS LABS & CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Plan to arrive ahead of the Congress to add hands-on learning to your Budapest experience. We are offering an introductory and an advanced hands-on lab on Friday 24 April. If you are getting started or need a refresher in the foundational skills, you can follow the path to achieving optimal patient outcomes with the renowned IPSIS Lumbar Bio-Skills Lab. Or practice next-level injections, blocks, and neurotomies at the IPSIS Advanced Cervical Bio-Skills Lab.
You will soon be invited to apply to participate as an investigator in a poster presentations session, offering CME credit. The European Congress Call for Abstracts submission period opens 28 October 2025.

Disclosures
Disclosure Policy
IPSIS plans and implements educational activities in accordance with Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Criteria and Standards for Integrity and Independence to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor. As an ACCME-accredited provider, the Society’s disclosure policy requires everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity to disclose all financial relationships with ACCME-defined ineligible companies. Ineligible companies are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. The ACCME requires disclosure of financial relationships with ineligible companies in any amount occurring within the past 24 months.
Members of the Education Division review all disclosures during the planning process and prior to presentation, and have a process of mitigation that, if not satisfied, results in the removal of the planner or speaker. The intent of this policy is not to prevent individuals with relevant relationships with ineligible companies or other interests from involvement in CME activities, but to ensure that the Society’s CME activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, are based on valid content, and are independent from commercial interests and free of commercial bias. Disclosure information will be made available to all participants at this meeting. Speakers are also required to disclose this information to the participants verbally and on the introductory slide at the beginning of each presentation.
FDA Disclosure
If a device or drug requiring FDA approval is identified as an important component of a presentation, the author must indicate the FDA status of that device or drug as Approved, Investigational, or Not Approved
for distribution within the United States. The FDA has stated it is the responsibility of the physician to determine the FDA status of each drug or device he or she wishes to use in clinical practice and to use these products in compliance with
applicable law.
Commercial Support Disclosure
The Society fully complies with all ACCME requirements for commercial support and maintains a separation of promotion from education. The content or format of IPSIS CME activities, or its related
materials, promote improvements or quality in healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest. The International Pain & Spine Intervention Society is a non-profit medical society. Revenues from this and
all courses are used for future research and educational endeavors.
