On behalf of the European Society for Sexual Medicine (ESSM), I am delighted to welcome you all to the 24th Congress of the ESSM at the DeDoelen Conference Centre, Rotterdam on February 16–18, 2023.

The congress is an unmissable opportunity to hear from the world’s leading experts in the field of sexual medicine. We’ve been working hard to give a platform to speakers sharing knowledge about the latest clinical improvements and scientific upgrades. We are developing a full program for you – lectures, debates, round tables, workshops – all containing relevant insights of importance for you and our profession.

It’s also a chance to meet your colleagues ‘for real’ after a long time of virtual meetings – an occasion where we can catch up with each other face to face. The congress also offers you an unparalleled opportunity for networking.

Rotterdam is world famous for its modern and ground-breaking architecture. I’m sure you’ll also want to discover and enjoy the many museums and parks in the city with your colleagues in between the program.

As you can see, it’s all shaping up to be one of our most exciting congresses yet. I’m already looking forward to giving you a warm welcome in Rotterdam.

See you in February!

Carlo Bettocchi
ESSM President
