The IUSTI World Congress of the International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) brings together researchers and clinicians from all over the world. Next edition: the 27th World Congress, from October 14 to 17, 2026, at the Prague Congress Centre.

IUSTI World Congress: the major event for STIs

The congress combines scientific sessions, plenary lectures, and an exhibition focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and HIV. It brings together physicians, biologists, researchers, associations, and diagnostic and pharmaceutical industry professionals.

The Prague edition is presented as the 27th World and European Congress of the union; precise attendance and the frequency of the editions are to be confirmed.

The Prague Congress Centre: an iconic venue

The Prague Congress Centre is the largest congress center in the Czech Republic, situated above the Nusle Valley and connected to the metro (Vyšehrad station). The exhibition spaces are located close to the conference rooms.

The Czech Republic belongs to the European Union: no customs formalities, but a road transport of about 1,100 km from our Lyon workshops needs to be planned.

Diagnostics and health stand: how we work

For an audience of specialists, the stand must be clear, rigorous, and welcoming: presentation areas for tests and solutions, quiet discussion spaces, carefully designed lighting, and fluid circulation between sessions. Visit our health and pharma stand page and our custom-made stands.
