About European Human Genetics Conference (ESHG)
The European Human Genetics Conference is the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Genetics and a key event for everyone working in human and medical genetics. The 60th conference takes place at Rotterdam Ahoy from 12 to 15 June 2027 as a hybrid event, so participants can join in person or follow the programme online through the virtual conference platform. It brings together clinical geneticists, genetic counsellors, laboratory specialists, researchers and industry from across Europe and beyond.

Event Highlights
The programme spans plenary and concurrent scientific sessions, educational sessions, ESHG courses, poster presentations and corporate sessions, complemented by an industry exhibition. All participants, whether onsite or online, have access to the virtual conference platform. The conference also has a long-standing focus on sustainability, for example by replacing the printed abstract book with an online programme planner and conference app.
Why Attend
Genetics is moving rapidly from research into routine care, and the ESHG conference is where these developments are presented and discussed in Europe. Attendees gain insight into new diagnostic approaches and therapies, present their own research and build connections across clinical and laboratory genetics. Rotterdam Ahoy is a short walk from the Zuidplein metro station, which makes the 2027 edition convenient for visitors from across Europe.
