Representing a broad and diverse range of fields, these international health professionals will meet in France in 2023 alongside key decision makers, NGOs, patients and health and rights advocates.

The destination selection process for FIGO 2023 saw engaging bids from across Europe from learned obstetric and gynaecologic societies, all of which offered superb venues and access to preeminent scholars. Paris stood out for its strong interest in the diversity of potential attendees, covering trainees, midwives and the broad scope of obstetrics and gynaecology, as well as the opportunity for FIGO to collaborate with a Francophone host society on a World Congress for the first time in 27 years.

On hosting the event in Paris, Professor Jöelle Belaisch-Allart, CNGOF President, said,

“The XXIV FIGO World Congress in Paris will be a great opportunity to bring together diverse professionals in women’s health care from across the globe. Impactful projects in all areas of women’s health will surely grow from this cross-pollination and the voice of FIGO will echo louder and clearer as a beacon for women’s health and wellbeing globally.”

On behalf of FIGO, Dr Jeanne Conry, President Elect at FIGO, said,

“FIGO looks forward to this celebration of women’s health in the City of Lights! We will have an incredible scientific programme to attract scholars to our Congress. And with the engagement and dedication of the CNGOF – coupled with the attraction of a city like Paris – we will come together with colleagues, families and friends to participate in and enjoy this important World Congress.”

FIGO is excited to be visiting Paris in 2023 for what will be the first ever hybrid FIGO World Congress. FIGO and CNGOF will bring together delegates from across Europe and beyond – virtually and in-person – for a fabulous World Congress that will showcase science, collegiality, collaboration and the beauty of France.

Registration will open in January 2023.

More information about the venue, programme and sponsorship opportunities will be released across 2022 and 2023.
