ESCP 2025: A Landmark Scientific Meeting in Paris
The 20th Scientific and Annual Conference of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) took place from 10–12 September 2025 at the Palais des Congrès de Paris, bringing together more than 3,300 delegates and over 12,000 members worldwide. This landmark edition — also known as the Tripartite Meeting — united global leaders in colorectal surgery from across six major societies, marking one of the most significant gatherings in the field.
For our team, this event represented not only an operational success but also another milestone in delivering world-class congresses in Europe’s most iconic destinations — in close collaboration with the ESCP leadership and partners.
A Global Gathering in the Heart of Paris
Set against the elegant backdrop of Palais des Congrès, just steps away from the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, the congress offered an inspiring mix of science, education, and networking. Paris — with its history, culture, and unmatched hospitality — provided the perfect setting for a truly international event.
Behind every registration desk, workshop room, and plenary session stood a dedicated collaboration between ESCP and our team, ensuring seamless coordination from start to finish. From digital registration and speaker management to onsite logistics and social programming, we worked together to make sure each moment ran like clockwork.

Networking by the Seine
Beyond the lecture halls, delegates came together at one of the most memorable venues Paris has to offer — Fluctuart, the city’s floating urban art centre on the Seine. The official ESCP Networking Event, held on Thursday, 11 September, offered breathtaking river views, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere celebrating the spirit of collaboration that defines ESCP.
With views of Pont Alexandre III, Les Invalides, and the Eiffel Tower, it was an evening to remember — where science met creativity, and colleagues became friends.
