Important notice: Flight/travel bookings for the Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 are offered through our travel partner Flightcentre in the UK.

The same goes for accommodation bookings: a FAKE Reservation Service is trying to SCAM attendees and faculty! If you received emails from travelhosting co uk, Dynamix Business Services etc. please be careful!

The email asks about arrival and departure dates and offers a hotel booking asking for credit card details. Please, ignore these emails and do not reply nor click on any link in the email. Accommodation for our faculty is arranged by the congress and can be booked by speakers through following a link given on the confirmation page of the speaker registration.

If, after reading the below, you have any questions, please contact us.

Congress Format

The Joint Congress of ESPE and ESE 2025 is a hybrid Congress, giving participants the opportunity to attend either in person or @HOME:

  • Delegates attend in person in Copenhagen, Denmark – with the ability to ask questions from the audience as usual  
  • Delegates will also have access to all of the recorded sessions as soon as available after each session through the on demand Congress platform.
  • Delegates can view selected talks live streamed in real-time, plus all sessions will be recorded and made available to them via the on demand Congress platform as soon as they are available after each session. 
  • The following sessions will be live streamed:
    • Opening Ceremony 
    • Closing Ceremony 
    • All Plenary Lectures 
    • All Award Lectures 
    • All Symposia 

For sessions that are not live streamed, we will be inviting @HOME delegates to submit questions to speakers on the platform for up to two weeks after the Congress has taken place. If you are speaking in a session that is not live streamed, we would ask you to log back into the platform during these two weeks to answer these questions.  

During our live-streamed sessions, we offer a dynamic and interactive experience for both In Person and @HOME delegates. In Person delegates can ask questions using the microphones in the room, while @HOME participants have the opportunity to ask questions live via the Congress platform, engaging directly with our speakers. 

To facilitate this, the session Chair will be equipped with a device that allows them to view and curate questions submitted by our @HOME audience. This ensures that even remote participants can actively contribute to the discussion. The session chair will then present these questions to the speakers in real time, allowing for a lively and inclusive Q&A session. 

Delegates are encouraged to take advantage of this feature to enhance their session experience and engage in meaningful dialogue with our expert speakers.

Our Speaker Preview Room is a dedicated space available onsite for all speakers – the Speaker Preview Room is room 6 on 1st floor next to hall E.   This area is designed to provide you with the opportunity to review and fine-tune your presentations before going live. Whether it’s last-minute changes, a quick run-through, or any technical adjustments, the Speaker Preview Room is set up to meet your needs. 

In this space, you’ll also have access to a team member who can assist you throughout the process. They are there to offer help with your presentation, answer any questions, and ensure everything runs smoothly for your session. 

When it’s time to deliver your presentation, rest assured that everything will be set up for you. Your presentation slides will be pre-uploaded and ready to go. In the session room speakers will then need to click on their presentation on-screen to commence and enter the name of the Chair/Chairs, there will be someone to help with this.  

To smoothly navigate through your slide deck, you will be provided with a clicking device. This tool allows you to effortlessly advance your slides at your own pace as you deliver your session. We recommend familiarising yourself with the clicking device beforehand to ensure comfort and ease during your presentation. Our team will be on hand to assist with any questions or technical support you may need – the team within the Speaker Preview Room will brief you on the slide navigation system and you will receive a brief demo of the equipment beforehand.
