The conference attracted over 1,500 participants and featured a panel of esteemed scientists from around the world. With three parallel daily sessions, the latest data on various aspects of the field of IVF were presented and discussed. Topics ranged from oocyte collection and embryo transfers to risk management and artificial intelligence.
Notably, scientific organizations such as WHO, ASRM, ICMART, and SART participated through their representatives. This allowed participants and scientists to engage in-depth on the global issue of rising infertility rates. A large set of data was analyzed, stimulating discussions on how to address current challenges and improve IVF efficiency in the coming years. The insights and outcomes from these discussions aim to serve as a roadmap for tackling infertility, aligning with the goal and title of the conference: “GPS for IVF.”
Embryolab Academy and EFRE extend their gratitude to all participants, speakers, sponsors, and partners who contributed to the success of this groundbreaking event.
