At the 2016 ISPD Congress in Melbourne, ISPD agreed to hold every 4th ISPD Congress in Europe jointly together with EuroPD, commencing in 2020.

Much of the second half of 2017 was dedicated to the bidding and site selection process for the joint meeting, concluding with a EuroPD Executive and ISPD Council decision on the destination in early November.

On behalf of ISPD and EuroPD, I am pleased to announce that the 18th Congress of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, which will be held jointly with the 15th EuroPD meeting, will take place in:

Glasgow, Scotland

I would like to thank all the cities that submitted bids. It was a very competitive process and we received a number of outstanding applications.

Please make sure you save the anticipated meeting dates in your calendars:

2 to 5 May 2020 (some pre-conference sessions may take place starting on the 30th April).
