Dear colleagues and friends,


We are honoured to announce the 15th International Congress on Spondyloarthritides, which will take place at De Bijloke in Ghent on 3 – 5 September 2026.

De Bijloke is one of the historic hospitals of Ghent, an architectural jewel, which has been completely refurbished. The medieval infirmary now is the main Concert Hall (where for instance the Symphony Orchestra Flanders has its home base). The other meeting rooms with enthralling names such as the ‘Anatomical Theatre’ have also been completely renovated.

The Bijloke is located in the historic centre of Ghent and within walking distance from most hotels.

We sincerely hope to welcome you to the 15th International Congress on Spondyloarthritides!
