CELEBRATING 80 YEARS. SUCCESS FOR SFE BES 2026

| Society News



 

In early March, we welcomed endocrinologists from around the world for SfE BES 2026 in the ever-stunning Harrogate! 

We thank our members and everyone else involved for their energy, curiosity and enthusiasm, which made it yet another conference to remember. It was wonderful to see the community come together again at our landmark event, and to celebrate the start of a very special year for the Society – our 80th anniversary!

Kicking off our packed Monday schedule, we began with a range of Endocrine Network sessions, followed by the first of our Plenary discussions and the Society’s Annual General Meeting. Here, our former President, Márta Korbonits, stepped down, passing the torch to our newly appointed President, Kristien Boelaert.

The second day featured a full programme of Nurses Sessions, exciting talks from our latest award winners, Meet the Expert sessions and oral poster presentations showcasing new endocrine research. The day highlighted the spirit of celebration and collaboration that defines SfE BES, as we recognised endocrinologists whose work continues to advance research and care across the field. At the Conference Dinner, the 80th anniversary celebrations continued, with a fabulous cake cut by our outgoing President and newly appointed President.

 

As we wrapped up the conference on Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming local schools to discover more about endocrinology. We also heard from more legends in the field, and gave out prizes for some of the best posters – what a way to end three amazing days!

 

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who attended, presented and contributed across the three days. The SfE BES conference wouldn’t be the inspiring event it is without you, our members. Congratulations to all our prize and award winners; your work in endocrinology continues to inspire us all.

SfE BES 2026 was a fantastic way to start our 80th anniversary celebrations in style. As we look to the future of endocrinology, we’re excited to continue showcasing developments in the field and supporting our members to thrive in their roles.
