Jaipur to host Global Experts at GIBS 2026 to shape the future of IC/BPS Care

India is set to host one of the world’s leading scientific gatherings dedicated to Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) as the Global Interstitial Cystitis Bladder Pain Society (GIBS) presents its 11th Annual International Conference – GIBS 2026 on 22–23 August 2026 at Hotel Clarks Amer, Jaipur.

Bringing together internationally renowned clinicians, researchers, academicians, and healthcare professionals, GIBS 2026 will serve as a global platform to discuss the latest advances in understanding, diagnosing, and managing IC/BPS—an often under-recognised chronic condition that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life.

The conference will be held under the theme, “Beyond the Bladder: Decoding Subtypes, Delivering Solutions,” reflecting the evolving scientific understanding that IC/BPS extends beyond bladder-centric disease models and requires personalised, multidisciplinary care.

Over two days, delegates from India and across the globe will participate in a comprehensive scientific programme featuring keynote lectures, expert panel discussions, case-based learning sessions, debates, and presentations of original research. The conference will explore emerging areas including disease phenotyping, artificial intelligence in clinical practice, biomarker discovery, microbiome research, precision medicine, and novel therapeutic strategies that are transforming patient care.

Recognising the complexity of IC/BPS, GIBS 2026 will also highlight the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration by bringing together specialists from urology, urogynecology, pain medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, nursing, and allied healthcare disciplines. The discussions are expected to encourage integrated approaches that improve diagnosis, optimise treatment pathways, and enhance long-term patient outcomes.

A key feature of the conference will be the participation of distinguished international faculty, providing delegates with opportunities to learn from global leaders, exchange clinical experiences, and establish collaborative research partnerships. The scientific programme will also showcase selected research papers and clinical studies, offering young investigators and healthcare professionals an international platform to present their work and contribute to the growing body of evidence in IC/BPS.

Hosting GIBS 2026 in Jaipur underscores India’s expanding role as a destination for high-quality international medical conferences and scientific collaboration. The conference is expected to attract participants from multiple countries, reinforcing the city’s position as an emerging hub for global academic exchange in healthcare.

Since its inception, the Global Interstitial Cystitis Bladder Pain Society has worked to advance education, research, and awareness in IC/BPS through international collaborations, scientific meetings, and continuing medical education. GIBS 2026 continues this mission by creating a forum where research findings can be translated into practical clinical solutions that ultimately improve the lives of patients living with chronic bladder pain disorders.

Healthcare professionals, researchers, postgraduate students, physiotherapists, pain specialists, and allied healthcare practitioners are expected to participate in this landmark international conference, making GIBS 2026 one of the most significant global events in the field of IC/BPS this year.
