ISUOG 2025 - What will it look like? 

1. Where is the Congress being held? 
The 2025 ISUOG World Congress will be held at the CANCÚN CENTER in Cancún, Mexico (Blvd. Kukulcan Km. 9, Punta Cancun, Zona Hotelera, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico) on 14-17 September 2025. The CANCÚN CENTER is a modern venue with impressive facilities, in close proximity to many hotels, restaurants and beaches. 
  
2. Will the 2025 ISUOG World Congress onsite or virtual? 
After the success of Budapest, the 2025 World Congress will continue as a fully onsite/in-person event to maximise face-to-face interaction, learning and networking. The main scientific program sessions will be recorded and available for registered delegates only to watch on-demand online on the ISUOG Academy for 12 months thereafter, after which point they will become available to all ISUOG members. Pre-Congress courses will be available for 1 month on the ISUOG Academy to registered delegates only. 
  
Whilst ISUOG was able to offer online/hybrid Congresses during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was a huge operational undertaking that cannot currently be sustained year on year. This will of course be monitored over time, as there were undoubtedly some benefits to online/hybrid events that ISUOG would like to build on if possible in the future. For anyone unable to attend the ISUOG World Congress 2025 onsite, there are various other ISUOG activities available online throughout the year. 
  
3. Is the structure of the scientific program changing for 2025? 
The 2025 Congress program will be a 4-day event from 14-17 September, with Pre-Congress courses taking place on 13 September. It will bring together faculty from around the world and with the 2025 event taking place in Cancún, you can also expect to meet leading experts in ultrasound from Mexico and the Americas.

Language and translation

Will there be translation at the Congress?
Worldy AI translation will be available for live scientific program sessions, from English into Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. This will be available via a transcript on the Congress app. Delegates must bring their own mobile devices and download the Congress app to access this. Please note, the translation will be provided by Wordly AI; ISUOG is not responsible for incorrect or inaccurate translation, nor disruption to the service (for example due to network issues). Translation will not be available on the on-demand recordings. 

Sustainability

We are very conscious that holding large events poses big challenges when it comes to the environment. With that in mind, we are trying to reduce our waste and carbon footprint where we can, and encouraging all our event partners to do the same. 

What are we doing to try and avoid waste, reduce our carbon footprint and have a positive impact on the local area at the ISUOG World Congress?

  • Reducing printed materials: ISUOG is no longer providing any printed materials except a small program overview and a limited number of guideline posters. We provide a Congress app, digital materials and a digital poster portal instead. We will also use recycled or recyclable materials where we can 
  • Choosing our menus thoughtfully: ISUOG will order locally sourced, seasonal catering where possible and will be increasing the proportion of lunches that are vegetarian, year on year 
  • Minimising food waste and re-distributing leftovers: ISUOG always orders catering very carefully to avoid food waste. This year we are pleased to say that the venue will pass any leftover food to a local charity that will re-distributes it to a range of up to 20 local organisations supporting vulnerable communities, to reduce food waste 
  • Minimising use of temporary materials: ISUOG is no longer ordering any temporary carpeting in the Exhibition and is encouraging exhibitors to avoid it too. We will try to use recycled or recyclable carpet if we have to have carpet anywhere else (for example on stage). Signage will be digital or cardboard, rather than plastic, where possible. Single-use crockery/cutlery will be avoided where possible. We are looking into ways to reduce single-use materials in the construction of our ISUOG stand 
  • Choosing materials carefully: Lanyards, bags and any give-aways will be locally sourced and made from recycled/recyclable materials where possible 
  • Encouraging use of public transport: We encourage delegates to use public transport where possible in Cancun, where there is a local bus that serves the area for just 1 USD a trip 
  • Encouraging our industry partners, Congress venue and suppliers to do the same: We ask our industry partners to take the same measures as us at a minimum and will be getting stricter about this year on year. We also include sustainability measures in our Requests for Proposals from event venues and suppliers 

  • Supporting local charities and social enterprises: This year we are hoping to offer some local social enterprises and eco-tourism initiatives the chance to promote their services, as part of the Exhibition

How can delegates help at ISUOG 2025?

  • Drinking water: There will be water fountains/jugs onsite. We will not provide cups. Please bring a re-usable water bottle to the Congress 
  • Re-usable items: Please make sure you re-use or recycle any Congress materials that you keep, such as lanyards or bags. Please return your lanyard at the end of the Congress, if you don’t need it 
  • Waste: While onsite for the ISUOG Congress please dispose of your waste considerately and recycle where possible 
  • Travel: We encourage any delegates who can, to use public transport to get around, where possible (there is a local bus that serves the area for just 1 USD a trip) 

Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions on how we can improve our sustainability efforts for future congresses by emailing: [email protected]. 
 
For anyone who does not want to travel to the ISUOG World Congress 2025 due to the impact of travel on the environment, there are various other ISUOG activities available for online attendance throughout the year.

Membership queries
