76th international meeting, 29th July to1st august 2026 in Issenheim, Alsace (F)

Dear friends of personal medicine

In 1515 Mathias Grünewald paints on the Isenheim Altarpiece, Mary Magdalene with the jar, from which she took the fragrant and smoothing ointment to anoint Jesus' feet. A very personal encounter.

How far has the digitization of the world and medicine, with its uncontrollable flood of data, social media, ever faster communication, and artificial intelligence, been taken from this jar, or rather from Pandora's box? After all, according to legend, hope remained in Pandora's box.

International experts will share with us how they experience the good and bad fruits of digital advances in their everyday lives, providing stimulating topics for our small group discussion.

As usual, we will explore the surroundings beforehand, this year in Alsace, during three days of relaxation and social interaction.

You can find general information about the conference in the flyer.

The full program will be published here in in a few months’ time

Registration deadline: 15 May 2026.
