Great conferences are not built only in lecture halls.
That’s why EBHC 2026 will also include a series of fun and informal leisure activities designed to help delegates connect, exchange ideas, and enjoy Taormina together in a more relaxed setting.
Our team is working on some original networking experiences — a little different from the usual conference routine — blending conversation, local atmosphere, and a touch of Sicilian spirit.
The full social programme will be available soon… stay tuned for some pleasant surprises!
