The World Conference on Gynecology & Women’s Health (WCGWH-2026) stands as a strategic event for all stakeholders involved in advancing women’s health practices. Organized by Iconic Meetings, this international conference will take place from November 23–25, 2026, in Tokyo, in a hybrid format combining both in-person and virtual participation.
Designed as a convergence point between research, clinical practice, and technological innovation, the 2026 edition aims to structure a global dialogue around the major contemporary challenges in gynecology and women’s health. It will bring together a highly qualified audience including clinicians, researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.
A scientific positioning focused on current challenges
In a context marked by rapid medical innovation and evolving reproductive health needs, WCGWH-2026 positions itself as a platform for analyzing and disseminating the latest scientific advances.
The scientific program covers a broad range of key topics, from early diagnosis of gynecological conditions to emerging therapeutic approaches, including the growing integration of digital technologies into care pathways.
Key focus areas include:
- biomarker identification in ovarian cancer screening
- the integration of artificial intelligence in cervical cancer screening
- innovations in in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols
- hormonal imbalances and their impact on fertility
- social and economic determinants of women’s health
This positioning enables a cross-disciplinary approach that bridges fundamental research, clinical applications, and public health challenges.
