REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR IPR 2026!

We hope you will join us for the 2026 International Pediatric Radiology (IPR) Congress to be held June 1 - 5, 2026 at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts. Since the inaugural IPR was convened in Toronto in 1987, the IPR has grown into a global event which outlines where pediatric radiology stands today and envisions where it will lead in the future. This year, the full 4.5 days of the meeting will provide a mix of scientific, clinical, and non-clinical topics in addition to featured lectures, the ever-popular IPR Olympics, and Shark Tank!

We invite not only members from the two organizing societies – the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) and the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) – but all pediatric radiologists and imaging specialists from every nation to join us in Boston to liaise professionally, to meet old friends, and to make new ones.
