Medical and healthcare conferences bring together doctors, nurses, pharmacists, researchers and healthcare managers to share clinical research, new treatments and best practice. ConferenceInc lists upcoming medical conferences for 2026–2027 worldwide, from large specialty congresses to focused international meetings.

Check whether the conference is run by a recognised medical society or association, whether its CME/CPD credits are accredited, and who sits on the scientific committee. Be cautious with events that accept every abstract within days, combine unrelated specialties in one programme, or cannot name confirmed speakers.

CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits count towards the ongoing training many doctors and healthcare professionals must complete. Many medical conferences are accredited for CME or CPD; the organizer's website states how many credits are available and which body accredits them.
Submit an abstract before the call-for-abstracts deadline. If it is accepted as a poster, prepare it to the organizer's size requirements and present it during the poster session, where attendees and judges can ask questions.
Right now the most upcoming medical conferences are in Japan, the USA, the UAE and Spain.
