EMS Congress

EMS Europe announce a change of date for the forthcoming 2027 European EMS Congress in Ireland, following recent confirmation of a conflicting event taking place in the local area.

The congress will take place from Tuesday 13^th April 2027 to Thursday 15^th April 2027 at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney, Ireland. The decision has been made to ensure delegates, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors can enjoy the best possible congress experience, with access to the full range of accommodation, hospitality, cultural and visitor opportunities the local area has to offer.

The revised timing will avoid a conflict with a large horse racing event and will help safeguard the quality of the delegate experience and support the availability of affordable accommodation options during the congress period.

Cathal O’Donnell, Chair of the 2027 Congress said: “Our priority is to give every delegate the best possible experience — not only through a high-quality scientific programme, but also through the opportunity to enjoy a rich cultural programme and everything the local area has to offer. Moving the date allows us to better support access to suitable and affordable accommodation, while ensuring delegates can make the most of their time in Killarney.”

Advantage Events appointed as Professional Congress Organiser

The organising committee are also pleased to announce the appointment of Advantage Events as the Professional Congress Organiser (PCO) for EMS2027. Advantage Events will work closely with the organising committee to support the planning, management and delivery of the congress, including delegate registration, logistics, accommodation support, sponsorship, exhibition arrangements and the overall delegate journey.

The congress website will launch soon and will provide further information on the revised dates, venue, registration, accommodation options, EMS Championship and opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors.

Further updates will be shared in due course. Delegates and stakeholders are encouraged to look out for the website launch and forthcoming announcements.
