On the road to ESCP Paris 2025
The Proctology Innovation Forum will be held on 8 and 9 September in Lyon, just before the ESCP (European Society of Coloproctology) international congress, which starts on 10 September in Paris at the Palais des Congrès de la Porte Maillot.
For participants wishing to combine the two events, it is very easy to get to Paris from Lyon thanks to the frequent TGV services (approximately 2 hours’ journey).
We recommend that you book your ticket in advance for Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning so that you can take full advantage of both events.
The ESCP Paris conference takes place from 10 to 12 September.
