SEEP Congress 2026 in Barcelona

From May 27 to 29, 2026, Barcelona will host the 48th Congress of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Endocrinology (SEEP), one of the most highly anticipated scientific meetings of the year for professionals in pediatric endocrinology in Spain. This annual event brings together specialists, researchers, and clinicians to share advances, knowledge, and experiences related to endocrine disorders affecting children and adolescents.

The congress will take place at the Auditori and Convention Center L’illa, a modern and versatile venue located at Avinguda Diagonal 547, Barcelona. Integrated within the L’illa Diagonal complex, this auditorium stands out for its excellent location in one of the city’s main urban areas, with convenient transport connections and nearby services.

What is the SEEP Congress?

The Spanish Society of Pediatric Endocrinology (SEEP) is the scientific organization that brings together pediatric endocrinologists, researchers, and professionals involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of hormonal disorders in children and adolescents. Each year, it organizes its national congress—this being the 48th edition—as a platform for scientific updating, the exchange of findings, and the promotion of best clinical practices.

The congress addresses key topics such as:

• Type 1 and type 2 diabetes in childhood

• Congenital and acquired thyroid disorders

• Growth and puberty disorders

• Adrenal gland dysfunctions and bone metabolism

• Advances in genetics and reproductive endocrinology

• New therapies and diagnostic strategies

In addition to the main scientific program, the event includes keynote lectures, round tables, and interactive sessions with national and international experts.

Why is the SEEP Congress important?

The SEEP Congress has established itself as a national scientific reference in pediatric endocrinology, with a direct impact on the clinical practice of thousands of children and adolescents. Its importance lies in:

• Disseminating scientific advances that improve clinical care

• Promoting collaborative research among hospitals and academic centers

• Establishing evidence-based standards and clinical guidelines

• Updating professionals on new therapies and diagnostic technologies

Bringing experts together in a single forum also encourages the definition of future challenges and shared strategies to address complex conditions such as juvenile diabetes, hormonal disorders, and growth abnormalities.
