ICS 2026 brings together world‑leading experts, emerging researchers, and multidisciplinary clinicians for four days of innovative science, practical education, and meaningful collaboration. This year’s programme showcases the full breadth of continence care, including high‑impact abstract sessions, interactive workshops, dynamic panel discussions, and signature networking events that make ICS feel like a true professional home.
You’ll also find three exceptional State of the Art lectures, each delivered by internationally recognised leaders in their field, offering fresh insights and forward‑thinking perspectives on the future of pelvic floor and continence research.
State of the Art Lectures
Hear from leading voices shaping the future of continence science, care, and innovation. Each 30‑minute State of the Art lecture is presented in a plenary format, with no parallel sessions.
Round Table Discussions
Our one‑hour Round Table sessions in the main hall bring together international, multi‑disciplinary experts for focused lectures, lively discussion, and audience‑driven questions. These sessions dive into emerging science, clinical challenges, and cross‑disciplinary insights — ensuring there’s something relevant and engaging for every profession within continence care.
Workshops
Day 1 of ICS 2026 is devoted entirely to workshops, offering a full day of practical, skills‑focused education across all disciplines. From Days 2–4, a dedicated workshop hall is integrated into the scientific programme, giving delegates continued access to high‑quality, specialist learning alongside the main sessions.
This year’s workshop schedule has been carefully curated by the ICS Education Committee from the excellent proposals submitted by our members, ensuring a diverse selection of expert‑led sessions. Most workshops require a ticket — best purchased during registration to secure your place — and some offer hands‑on learning where indicated, providing valuable practical experience for those who wish to deepen their skills.
25th ICS Physiotherapy Forum

It’s a fantastic opportunity for physiotherapists — and anyone interested in physiotherapy — to connect, enjoy presentations from emerging and established researchers and clinical leaders, and most of all, have fun!
At the end of the session, all attendees are invited to stay on for a dedicated networking lunch.

This year’s event features a three‑course seated dinner followed by a vibrant party at Rebelle, set inside the stunning 17th‑century Augustijnenkerk in Maastricht. With its soaring ceiling, dramatic architecture, and atmospheric lighting, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for an exceptional night with colleagues and friends.
