The ESCRS is excited to announce this event that will take place in a city that has contributed so much medical innovation over the centuries: London. Once again, it will be a full-day programme held on the day immediately prior to the opening of the main ESCRS Congress: Friday, September 11th, 2026, at the Excel in London. With over 50% of doctor attendees, ESCRS iNovation® Day truly is unlike any other ophthalmology innovation meeting. We are proud to say that ESCRS iNovation® Day is “THE Innovation Meeting for Doctors”. The carefully curated programme will feature 9 fast-paced sessions focused on the most urgent clinical needs and barriers to success in anterior segment care. Topics ranging from the ocular surface to the retina include focused panel discussions, 15-18 emerging company presentations and interactive components, such as a chat for audience comments and live voting. We will continue with highlight sessions, such as the industry executive leadership panel, discussing the immediate future of our field, as well as the Innovators Den, giving the stage to budding entrepreneurs and bringing together the leaders of global ophthalmic societies to drive meaningful change. Stay tuned for new and exciting tweaks to our programme, which will have a special focus on artificial intelligence and how it will impact everyday practice. Last, but certainly not least, we ensure that there is ample time to network, meet new partners and colleagues from across the globe over food and refreshments, during breakfast, coffee breaks and lunch.
