Welcome
Letter
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the European Glaucoma Society, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th EGS Congress, to be held in Brussels from 30 May to 2 June 2026.
The theme of our Congress, inspired by a timeless Beatles classic, is “With a Little Help from Our Friends.” This reflects not only the enduring value of friendship and collaboration within the glaucoma community, but also our commitment to working hand in hand with other ophthalmic subspecialties, neuroscientists, bioengineers, patient advocates, and digital innovators.
Together, we strive to shape the future of glaucoma care—more precise, more patient-centered, and more integrated than ever before.

Registration & Accommodation
Register in advance and participate to all scientific sessions and social events of the congress!

CONGRESS VENUE
The conference venue, the SQUARE is one of the largest convention centers in Europe.
Originally known as the Palace of Congress, it was designed by Jules Ghobert and Maurice Hoyoux and constructed in 1958 for the World’s Fair. Its technological capabilities have been significantly upgraded, with an integrated fiber optic infrastructure that ensures high-quality web streaming throughout the venue.
SOCIAL EVENTS
It’s also time to enjoy some relaxed time with the EGS community!
