Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues, Esteemed Surgeons, and Healthcare Professionals,

It is with great pride and immense pleasure that we invite surgeons from across Egypt and around the globe to join us for the 22nd Annual Congress of the Egyptian Society for Bariatric
Surgery (ESBS).

This landmark event will take place from November 19 to 21, 2026, at the prestigious Semiramis InterContinental Hotel in Cairo, with a comprehensive pre-congress workshop scheduled for November 18, 2026.

As we gather once again in the vibrant city of Cairo, a destination that beautifully bridges profound historical heritage with cutting-edge medical innovation, we are reminded of the global impact of our community.

Situated on the banks of the legendary River Nile, Cairo offers an unparalleled backdrop for our congress. Beyond the rich scientific exchange, the city invites you to explore its timeless wonders-from the majestic Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx to the bustling, historic markets.

It is a city where world-class hospitality meets deep
cultural roots, providing an unforgettable experience for all our national and international
guests.

This year’s scientific program is meticulously designed to provide a dynamic and multidisciplinary forum. Whether you are an established surgeon, an integrated health professional, or a rising star in the field, the congress will offer unparalleled advantages.

Attendees will benefit from exposure to the latest surgical techniques, in-depth discussions on complex case management, and access to a global network of experts. Join us for our pre-congress workshop on November 18 for practical insights to help you improve patient care and clinical outcomes.

As a proud member society of the International Federation for the Surgery and Other Therapies for Obesity (IFSO), our congress continues to embody the inclusive vision that this
updated name represents – a comprehensive, multi-modal approach to combating the chronic disease of obesity that embraces both surgical excellence and emerging therapeutic
innovations.

Our congress is not just a scientific gathering; it is a festival of knowledge, a reunion of colleagues, and a unique opportunity to forge new global partnerships in one of the world’s most captivating cities.

We eagerly look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring, highly productive, and memorable congress in Cairo in November 2026.

Warmest regards,
