This landmark event will bring together the foremost minds and innovators in our field from across Latin America and the world. It presents a vital platform to share knowledge, explore the latest surgical advancements and technological breakthroughs, and collaboratively push the frontiers of neuroendoscopy of the brain, skull base, cranium and spine.

​

Buenos Aires City offers a captivating backdrop for our congress. Its unique blend of heritage and Latin American passion mirrors the spirit of our discipline—where meticulous technique meets creative innovation. The city's rich history, world-renowned architecture, and the soulful rhythm of tango create an inspiring atmosphere for fostering collaboration and forging new connections.

​

The 2026 IFNE + GLEN International Congress promises an exceptional scientific program, featuring keynote lectures from world leaders, insightful panel discussions, and cutting-edge presentations at a premier venue in the heart of Buenos Aires city. We are also planning five comprehensive pre-congress courses during May 18 and 19th, which will include hands-on workshops on brain & ventricular, skull base, spine, craniosynostosis and fetal neuroendoscopy, demonstrating state-of-the-art surgical techniques.
