Event Highlights
10,680 participants attended the 2026 congress, making it a major meeting point for the nephrology community worldwide. The programme combines state-of-the-art lectures, symposia, late-breaking clinical trials, abstract and poster sessions and educational courses with an exhibition presenting dialysis technology, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic solutions. Four days of sessions give a broad picture of where kidney medicine stands today.
Why Attend
Kidney medicine is developing quickly, with new therapies and care models changing daily practice. The ERA Congress offers an efficient way to follow these changes, exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world and meet companies active in renal care. Rotterdam Ahoy, a short walk from the Zuidplein metro station, is a well connected venue in one of Europe's most dynamic port cities.
