The city is home to one of Europe’s leading universities, a thriving life sciences industry, and an extensive network of historic and modern venues, making it the perfect backdrop for an international congress.

The journey to selecting Utrecht as our destination began in March 2024. Several outstanding cities expressed interest, and each was evaluated on criteria such as affordability, local member support, and ease of travel for international delegates. Utrecht stood out as a city that offers not only exceptional logistical advantages but also a warm and inspiring environment for our global community.

ISDE Executive Director, Mark Ferguson, says Utrecht is a fantastic location for our 2027 Congress. The venue is stylish and convenient and the surrounding area is loaded with historical charm and fine dining opportunities. Almost everything is within a short walk of the congress hotels. The city is easy to get to from anywhere in the world, and side trips are convenient by train to almost anywhere in Europe. Make Utrecht and the ISDE Congress your destination event for 2027!
