Joint EGS/GalNet meeting 2026

The annual EGS/GalNet meeting is a great opportunity to come together as an international community, share knowledge and experiences, and strengthen our collaboration. By bringing together professionals and patient perspectives, we can continue our joint efforts to improve the treatment, care, and outcomes of people living with Galactosemia.
We are looking forward to an inspiring meeting on the 21th of November in Amsterdam.

The Dutch Galactosemia society (GVN) is hosting the meeting.
The meeting will take place at the Park Plaza Airport Schiphol Hotel and online via ZOOM.

Registration to the live meeting is open for GallNet and EGS members.
