Welcome to the 29th Annual Gabor Racz Advanced Interventional Pain Conference and Workshops!

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Budapest, Hungary, for this landmark event, taking place Monday through Wednesday, August 24–26, 2026, with the FIPP/CIPS examinations offered on Thursday, August 27, 2026. Over the past 28 years, this conference has become a cornerstone of excellence in interventional pain education, and this year’s program promises to be truly unmatched.

Our primary objective remains to deliver the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and advanced knowledge in interventional pain management while continuously elevating the standard of patient care. Guided by valuable feedback from previous programs, we have designed an educational experience that integrates comprehensive lectures with multiple hands-on interventional procedure workshops, offering both clinicians and basic scientists meaningful insight into the evolving field of chronic pain treatment.

Emerging trends in interventional pain management continue to shape clinical practice worldwide. This year’s program will explore advancements across a broad spectrum of therapies, including neuromodulation, regenerative medicine, cryoanalgesia, radiofrequency techniques, ultrasound-guided interventions, and AI.

The success of this conference is made possible by the exceptional dedication of our international faculty, who generously contribute their time and expertise, and by the continued support of our sponsors, without whom this program would not be possible. Their commitment allows us to deliver an educational experience of the highest quality year after year.

As we gather for the 29th Annual Gabor Racz International Interventional Pain Conference, the Racz family is honored to continue the mission and international educational community that Dr. Gabor B. Racz spent nearly three decades building. His dedication to innovation, hands-on physician education, and improving patient care remains at the heart of this meeting and continues to influence the future of interventional pain medicine worldwide.

We invite you to join colleagues and faculty from around the world in Budapest for an educational experience unlike any other — one that will enhance your practice, deepen your understanding of interventional pain medicine, and continue the spirit of innovation and excellence that Dr. Racz championed throughout his career.

We look forward to welcoming you in August 2026.
