Alongside a rich scientific programme, join us in Bilbao for two memorable social events designed to connect, inspire and celebrate our public health community.
On 11 November, we warmly welcome all delegates to the Welcome Reception at the beautiful Azkuna Zentroa. This informal gathering offers the perfect opportunity to meet colleagues from across Europe and beyond in a relaxed and inspiring setting. The Welcome Reception is free of charge, but registration is required.
On 12 November, we invite you to a truly special Social Evening at the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. For one exclusive evening, the museum will be opened for EPH Conference delegates only. Surrounded by world-renowned art and architecture, enjoy an unforgettable night of food, drinks and dancing in a unique cultural setting. The fee for this event is €70, and registration is required.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bilbao and sharing these exceptional experiences together.
Important Notice: beware of unofficial events
We have become aware of a separate organisation, not connected to us, using the “European Public Health Conference” name and theme on different dates. Some colleagues have received a “speaker invitation” email referencing a virtual event on 17–18 May 2025 that is not connected to our EPH Conference.
Please note:
- Our only official dates are 12–14 November 2025 in Helsinki, Finland
- All registrations and ticket sales go directly through our website
