The 20th European Headache Congress 2026 is a major specialist event that brings together experts in the field of headache research and treatment; following on from Rotterdam and Lisbon, this year’s congress will take place in Berlin. Headaches are among the most common health complaints worldwide and are significantly more prevalent than many individual chronic conditions. At this congress, the latest scientific findings, innovative therapies and current trends relating to headaches will be presented and discussed. The approximately 2,000 participating experts from almost 70 countries will have the opportunity to exchange views with international colleagues, take part in workshops and learn about advances in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine, cluster headaches and other types of headache. The European Headache Congress thus provides an important platform for scientific dialogue and the further development of headache medicine.
Key topics and focal points of the conference
This year’s conference is dedicated to a wide range of important topics and key areas that shed light on current developments and challenges across various sectors. The focus includes, amongst other things, innovative technologies, sustainable business models and the digitalisation of work processes. Experts from the worlds of business, academia and politics will exchange views on best practices and forward-looking strategies in order to play an active role in shaping this transformation. In addition, social issues such as diversity and social responsibility will be discussed in depth to promote holistic solutions.
