Join us for informal ICS Live Lounge conversations bringing together international experts from across disciplines. These sessions offer a chance to listen in as hosts and invited guests reflect on key topics, share insights from research and clinical practice, and explore ideas beyond the lecture hall. Audience questions are encouraged, making this a relaxed and interactive space for discussion, debate, and shared learning.

The schedule is outlined below and in the ICS 2026 programme, with leading experts and thought leaders from across the field still to be announced soon.
