Program

Welcome to the Spookiest Edition of Our Obesity Surgery Congress!

Dear colleagues,

This year, we invite you to a congress like no other—one that will send shivers down your spine, but only in the best way! As we gather once again to discuss the latest advancements in obesity surgery, we do so under a theme that promises mystery, excitement, and a touch of the supernatural: Halloween!

Prepare for an event where science meets the spirit of the season, where innovation lurks behind every corner, and where learning is anything but frightening. From eerie encounters with cutting-edge research to spine-tingling discussions on surgical techniques, this congress will be an unforgettable experience.

So, embrace the theme, let your imagination run wild, and join us for a congress that is both educational and enchanting.

See you in October… if you dare!

From Frankfurt Airport, it is a 15-minute journey by car or taxi to the Kap Europa.

From the airport, you can take the S-Bahn suburban train lines S8 or S9 (in the direction of Hanau or Offenbach Ost) to Frankfurt Central Station (“Hauptbahnhof”). Suburban train lines S3, S4, S5 and S6 will then take you directly to the trade fair grounds (station: “Frankfurt (Main) Messe”).

Arrival from the main station

Frankfurt Central Station is only a few hundred meters away from Messe Frankfurt. This central location offers a wide range of travel options to our exhibition grounds.

By cab
You can take a taxi directly to the Kap Europa.

By subway
With the underground line 4 (in the direction of Bockenheimer Warte), it is one stop until Festhalle/Messe, where you will find the City Entrance and Kap Europa congress centre.

By S-Bahn
You can take any of four different suburban train (S-Bahn) lines: S3 (in the direction of Bad Soden), S4 (in the direction of Kronberg), S5 (in the direction of Bad Homburg/Friedrichsdorf) or S6 (in the direction of Friedberg/Gross Karben). You need to get off at the second stop, the Frankfurt (Main) Messe station.

By tram
You can reach the tram stop via the main exit of Frankfurt Central Station by crossing the station forecourt. Next, you should take the 16 tram line (in the direction of Ginnheim) or 17 (in the direction of Rebstockbad) three stations until the Festhalle/Messe stop.

On foot
You can reach the Kap Europa on foot in 10 minutes from Düsseldorfer Straße via Platz der Republik and Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage. A good orientation aid is the Messeturm with its pyramid-shaped top. A few steps away are the “Eingang City”, the Festhalle, the Congress Center and the Kongresshaus Kap Europa.

Arrival from the highway

The Frankfurt traffic hub is very easy to reach via the autobahn. For directions, please follow the signs of our integrated traffic guidance system. These will guide you along the shortest route to Messe Frankfurt.

Numerous paid parking spaces are available in several public parking garages within walking distance of the Kongresshaus Kap Europa. For example:

Messeturm
Congress Center Messe Frankfurt/ Maritim Hotel
Westend Gate/ Marriott Hotel
Hotel Mövenpick
Skyline Plaza

Hotel booking

Frankfurt offers a variety of accommodation options.
!! Please take this into account when planning your travel: Hotel rooms for the overnight stays from Tuesday to Thursday are very difficult to obtain or only at very high costs. The scientific programme and the industry exhibition will therefore start on Thursday lunchtime and not in the morning. Instead, Friday is planned as a full programme day. !!

You can book your hotel via the HRS hotel reservation system. After booking, you will receive a booking confirmation from HRS. Payment is made directly at the hotel, although special overnight rates may require full or pro-rata prepayment by credit card.
Please choose your overnight stay from the following offer.
