Welcome to the congress!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees, we are honored to invite you to the 9th Baltic Pain Congress 2026, taking place November 20–21, 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
This congress marks the 9th edition of a longstanding event that began in 2009 as the Pain in the Baltics Symposium in Tallinn, Estonia. Over the years, it has evolved into a leading regional forum dedicated to advancing knowledge and collaboration in the field of pain medicine.
Our goal is to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and practitioners to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of modern pain medicine.
This event will feature keynote lectures by well-known speakers, practical workshops, and poster presentations showcasing the latest innovations in pain medicine. Beyond the scientific program, the congress will offer excellent networking opportunities to foster new collaborations and friendships.
We are delighted to host the 9th Baltic Pain Congress 2026 this time in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Vilnius is an old and modern European city, offering perfect conference and hotel facilities that will ensure your pleasant stay.
We look forward to welcoming you to Vilnius for an inspiring and productive event!
