Sponsorship opportunities - IHF World Hospital Congress

Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the World Hospital Congress

The 49th IHF World Hospital Congress takes place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in October 2026 with the Korean Hospital Association (KHA) serving as host. The Congress brings together hospital leaders and healthcare system executives to connect around global learning for local action while attracting around 1500 participants each year from more than 80 countries/territories.

As the only global organization connecting hospital and health system managers, the IHF Congress offers a unique 360-degree learning and networking platform for healthcare leaders worldwide.

In 2025, the 48th IHF World Hospital Congress brought together over 1500 delegates from 86 countries/territories, offering a dynamic programme of plenary and parallel sessions, workshops, masterclasses, and poster presentations. Participants explored cutting-edge ideas in the i-to-i Innovation Lounge and engaged with exhibitors showcasing the latest healthcare solutions. More than 260 speakers shared insights across 50+ scientific sessions, while over 420 posters highlighted best practices and innovations from around the globe. A key highlight was the IHF Awards Gala Reception, where 500+ healthcare leaders celebrated outstanding projects and programmes. Delegates also enjoyed exclusive visits to leading hospitals in Switzerland and neighbouring France.
