U.S. Capitol at night – Washington D.C. United StatesFollowing a strong showing at IMEX Frankfurt 2025, Washington, DC is set to welcome several high-profile international association meetings that will reinforce its position as a leading global hub for impactful events.
Among the key congresses is the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) 2025 Congress, taking place in June. With over 2,100 abstracts submitted and delegates expected from more than 100 countries, it represents a major moment for the scientific community.
“This event reflects an extraordinary level of scientific enthusiasm and international collaboration,” said Lisa Astorga, ISTH Director of Meetings. “Washington, DC provides the perfect stage for meaningful dialogue and cutting-edge discoveries.”
The city will also host the International Association of Young Lawyers Congress and the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology Annual Meeting in August. Together, these events are projected to generate over $20 million in economic impact.
