Practicalities

Minors (individuals under 18 years of age) may access the congress venue.
  • Minors must be registered (no fee applies), please contact [email protected] to request the appropriate registration form.
  • Each minor must be accompanied at all times by a parent or guardian (1 minor = 1 adult). The accompanying adult must be a registered WCN’26 attendee. Adults are fully responsible for ensuring appropriate behavior from minors. Any disruption to congress activities will not be tolerated.
  • The organizers are not responsible for any content presented during the congress that may be considered unsuitable for children.
  • Minors will not be admitted to the opening ceremony, plenary sessions, exhibition area, interventional nephrology course, and industry sessions.
  • Registered minors will be required to wear a badge or wristband (depending on age), which must include the contact information of their accompanying adult while onsite.
The ISN World Congress of Nephrology, Yokohama, Japan 28/03/2026 – 31/03/2026, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 20.5 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.  Each participant can only receive the number of credits he/she is entitled to according to his/her actual participation at the event once he/she has completed the feedback form. Cf. criteria 22 of UEMS 2023.07.  More information here. Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on converting EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities. Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for EACCME®’s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Registered and paid participants will be able to download a certificate of attendance.

The certificate will be available exclusively on the ISN Events Portal after the congress. Further information regarding certificates will be shared closer to the event.

Note: Delegates with uncompleted profiles at the ISN Events Portal will not be able to download their certificate of attendance. We urge participants registered by third parties or under group registrations to make sure their profiles are completed before the congress.
