CIRSE is grateful for the support of these corporate partners with their learning centres at CIRSE 2026.
The onsite learning centres provide an ideal environment for the following companies to showcase their products and for delegates to gain a deeper understanding of how their technology works. All learning centres take place throughout the four days of the onsite exhibition.
If you would like to present your technology at CIRSE 2026 with a learning centre, please contact us at [email protected].
The learning centres will provide an excellent opportunity for all congress delegates to test the latest interventional devices, gain hands-on experience with new equipment, and talk to industry representatives.
Please note that CIRSE is not responsible for the information provided at the learning centres.
