1st International Skills Meeting in Spondyloarthritis (ISM) 2026

From 30 January to 1 February 2026, the Athens Marriott Hotel will host the inaugural 1st International Skills Meeting in Spondyloarthritis (ISM). This new addition to the medical association calendar focuses on the specialised field of spondyloarthritis, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

The meeting is designed to offer a hands-on approach to the diagnosis and management of the condition, distinguishing it from standard lecture-based congresses. By focusing on "skills", the programme is expected to facilitate direct interaction between delegates and experts, fostering the exchange of practical techniques and clinical best practices.

The event is professionally organised by AFEA Congress, a prominent PCO in the region. For the local meetings industry, the launch of this international skills meeting in Athens highlights the city's growing capacity to attract specialised, high-value scientific events that prioritise education and professional development.
