The MedGU-26 Scientific Program will be announced on this page and through the MedGU Web App on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, at 14:00 (Cairo time).
Here are a few possible examples of scenarios that an attendee or presenter can expect from MedGU-26:
A number of in-person (oral and poster) sessions are planned, during which presenters and attendees will appear in person (in Cairo).
These in-person sessions will be broadcast live (MedGU-26 Live Stream) to all attendees regardless of how they are attending the sessions (in person or online).
In parallel with this, some online-only sessions will occur during the main meeting hours, as shoulder events.
During these online events, authors will be presenting via video. Attendees can ask questions after logging into the virtual meeting platform.
