The ETS Annual Congress 2026 is the flagship event of the Emirates Thoracic Society, bringing together global experts to advance clinical excellence and research in thoracic and respiratory medicine.
The ETS Annual Congress 2026 is the flagship annual scientific event of the Emirates Thoracic Society, taking place from 30 October to 1 November 2026 at InterContinental Dubai Festival City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The three-day congress brings together regional and international experts, healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, trainees, and industry partners for scientific exchange, professional development, and multidisciplinary collaboration in respiratory and thoracic medicine. The congress is designed to provide participants with access to the latest evidence-based practices, clinical guidelines, emerging research, and innovations relevant to respiratory and thoracic healthcare. Its scientific programme combines plenary lectures, scientific symposia, panel discussions, case-based sessions, and interactive workshops, providing opportunities to explore both established approaches and emerging developments in clinical practice. The programme covers a broad range of specialties and disciplines within respiratory and thoracic medicine. Key areas include pulmonology, adult and pediatric respiratory medicine, allergy and immunology, sleep medicine, respiratory critical care, thoracic oncology, thoracic surgery, respiratory therapy, nursing, and allied health. The multidisciplinary scope allows participants from different professional backgrounds to examine respiratory conditions from complementary clinical and research perspectives. Sessions will address current developments in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and management of respiratory diseases, while also highlighting emerging technologies and innovative therapeutic approaches. The congress provides a forum for discussing complex clinical cases, reviewing evolving evidence, and considering how advances in research and technology can be translated into improved patient care. Research and scientific collaboration are also central components of the congress. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and academics are invited to submit original abstracts for oral and poster presentations across areas including pulmonology, allergy and immunology, sleep medicine, pediatric pulmonology, thoracic oncology, thoracic surgery, critical care, respiratory therapy, allied health, and nursing. Selected abstracts will be presented at the congress, with the three highest-ranked submissions receiving podium presentation opportunities. The congress also provides opportunities for professional networking and interaction with regional and international experts. Participants can engage with peers and key opinion leaders, exchange clinical and research experiences, and explore developments presented through the industry exhibition. These activities support the Emirates Thoracic Society's broader objectives of strengthening professional capacity, research collaboration, and multidisciplinary dialogue across the region. The faculty includes distinguished international and regional specialists in respiratory and thoracic medicine. Confirmed speakers include experts in pulmonology, interventional pulmonology, respiratory medicine, pediatric pulmonology, thoracic oncology, critical care, respiratory therapy, and related fields, providing participants with access to diverse clinical and academic perspectives. The congress is relevant to pulmonologists, respiratory physicians, thoracic surgeons, respiratory therapists, nurses, radiologists, allergists and immunologists, sleep specialists, critical care professionals, oncologists, cardiologists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, primary care physicians, medical students, and other healthcare professionals involved in respiratory and thoracic care. Through three days of scientific presentations, interactive learning, research exchange, and professional networking, the ETS Annual Congress 2026 aims to support evidence-based practice and continued professional development while advancing collaboration and innovation in respiratory and thoracic healthcare. The official congress website confirms that CME credits are available, although a specific credit value is not currently stated in the accessible event information.
