Host Venue & City

ESBB and BBMRI-ERIC are delighted to be holding the 2026 Congress at the Prague Congress Centre, Prague, Czech Republic.

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a city of remarkable beauty and history, often called “the City of a Hundred Spires.” Nestled along the Vltava River, it boasts a stunning blend of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture, highlighted by landmarks like Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Astronomical Clock. Its cobblestone streets, vibrant cultural scene, and rich café tradition make it one of Europe’s most enchanting and timeless destinations.

Conference Venue

The Prague Congress Centre, located in the Vyšehrad district just minutes from the city centre, is one of Europe’s premier venues for conferences and cultural events. Overlooking the Vltava River with panoramic views of Prague Castle, it offers state-of-the-art facilities, 70 meeting spaces, and a main hall that seats nearly 2,800 guests. With direct access to the metro and an adjoining hotel, it combines world-class convenience with the charm of historic Prague.
