On behalf of the IETS, we would like to extend a warm invitation to all IETS members to join us for the 52nd Annual Conference of the IETS, January 17 to 20, 2026, in Panama City, Panama.
The theme, “Transformative advances and innovative solutions in reproductive technologies,” will be showcased through four main sessions focusing on
- Reproductive management in relation to climate,
- Emerging embryo culture and molecular technologies,
- Lessons from non-Bovidae species, and
- Recent insights into sperm–oocyte interactions.
We are excited to announce that Eckhard Wolf, PhD, director of the Center for Innovative Medical Models at Ludwig Maximilian University (Munich, Germany), will deliver the keynote address and share his work on using translational animal models for human diseases.
Additionally, we will highlight the Morulas Trainee Group by having members give platform talks during the main sessions and hosting two concurrent sessions dedicated solely to short presentations. We also look forward to hosting a 2026 CANDES Preconference Symposium before the main program. Bookmark this webpage for the latest information as meeting details are finalized.
We encourage all of you to send your valuable scientific contributions for the 2026 IETS Annual Conference. Please look for abstract submission instructions and deadlines in the near future.
Abstracts with scientific merit and relevance to the session topics will be selected for oral presentations. IETS is proud to publish the IETS Annual Conference proceedings annually in Reproduction, Fertility and Development (RFD), and authors of accepted papers are eligible for free open access publishing within the 2026 special issue. Learn more about publishing in RFD.
The Local Organizing Committee is planning some amazing events for #IETS2026, with plenty to do in Panama before, during, and after the meeting. Come celebrate with colleagues and friends at the 52nd Annual IETS Conference in Panama City, Panama!
Respectfully,
Alan Ealy and Joanna Souza-Fabjan
