On 29 April 2020, the Ordinance on the Prohibition of Large Events due to the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic of the Berlin Senate came into force. Against this background, the congress organisation, the scientific societies and the professional association held intensive consultations with Messe Berlin.

After weighing up all the options, the parties involved agreed that the DKOU 2020 could not be implemented in accordance with the terms of the ordinance on 20-23 October 2020.

This is disappointing for all of us, but inevitable. All the more, we look forward to a congress experience together next year – please reserve 26-29 October 2021 in your calendar!

On behalf of the Congress Presidents of DGOU, DGOOC, DGU and BVOU we would like to thank you very much for your interest and your loyalty.

As soon as there is news, we will contact you again and sincerely hope you stay healthy!

Your DKOU Team
