Public transport included in Registration
As part of our “Greener Days” sustainability initiative, conference registration includes a 3-day public transport pass valid across central Milan (zones Mi1–Mi3). The pass can be used on all major forms of public transport for three consecutive days.
Delegates are encouraged to make full use of this provision and prioritise public transport when travelling around the city, helping to support our shared commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the event.
Leaving a positive legacy in Milan
We’re proud to partner with Forestami to reduce the environmental impact of our meeting through a local tree planting project. Delegates can donate to Forestami during the registration process, but if you missed the opportunity or would like to top up your donation, then you can donate now. ESGE will match all contributions!

Live endoscopy demonstrations - watch the experts in action
At ESGE Days 2026, we are honored to welcome Humanitas University Medical School, Milan, as our host unit. On Friday, May 15, their team will share their expertise and present real-life cases, offering valuable insight into how leaders in the field approach both routine and complex scenarios. Until then, ESGE members can revisit last year’s highlights in The ESGE Academy, where ESGE Days 2025 footage is available exclusively.
