About the Conference

The International Conference for Hyperemesis Gravidarum (ICHG 2026) brings together patients, researchers, healthcare professionals, and advocates from around the world to improve understanding, treatment, and support for HG.

This unique global event is more than a medical conference — it’s a collaborative space where lived experience and scientific research stand side by side. Together, we aim to drive forward change in care, policy, and research for HG.

Whether you’ve experienced HG personally, work to support those who have, or are investigating its causes and treatments — we invite you to be part of this vital conversation.

  • Research & Innovation: Hear from leading scientists and clinicians sharing the latest advances in HG research, care, and treatment.

  • Lived Experience: Center the voices of people who have experienced HG and those who support them.

  • Global Perspectives: Explore how HG is understood and managed around the world.

  • Connection & Collaboration: Build relationships across disciplines and borders to spark lasting change.
