The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) has announced that its flagship Annual Scientific Meeting will return to London for the first time in 40 years, as part of a new multi-year agreement with Olympia’s state-of-the-art International Convention Centre (ICC).
Set to open in March 2026, Olympia’s new International Convention Centre (ICC) will host the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Annual Scientific Meeting in both 2026 and 2028. The agreement was secured in collaboration with the venue’s management partner, Legends Global, whose expertise has helped position Olympia as London’s new leading destination for medical and association conferences.
Taking place on 15 – 17 June 2026, the three-day conference will be among the first major events at the new ICC, welcoming 2,500 delegates to the iconic Central London venue.
Mary Suphi, CEO of BAUS said:
“After 40 years, we’re delighted to finally bring this cornerstone of the urological calendar back to London. Finding the right venue was central to our decision – and Olympia ticked every box. We’re grateful to the Legends Global team for their support in securing this partnership. The redevelopment at Olympia is a truly exciting time for the UK events industry and we’re confident our delegates will benefit from its world-class facilities when we meet in 2026 and again in 2028.”
Uniting urological professionals from across the UK, the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting will include major elements of the scientific programme, analysing the current and future landscape of urology, with a particular focus on developments around Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Olympia’s £1.3 billion regeneration project is creating a world-class cultural and entertainment destination in the heart of London. Its scale and flexibility have been key to the Organiser’s decision, providing the ideal setting for its members to meet, socialise and participate in world class urological research, debate and opinion.
Andy O’Sullivan, CEO of Olympia Events said:
“We’re delighted to enter this multi-year partnership with BAUS and welcome their delegates to our new International Convention Centre in its opening year. Enabling this flagship event to return to the capital for the first time in more than a generation is a real testament to the vision and ambition behind Olympia’s regeneration. This transformation is opening new opportunities for the UK events industry, and we look forward to attracting more world-class conferences back to London.”
Steve Duan, Head of Sales for Associations at Legends Global said:
“BAUS is a cornerstone event for the UK surgical community, and its decision to return to London at Olympia’s ICC on a multi-year agreement reflects the confidence we are seeing across the association market, and the step change delivered by the new International Convention Centre at Olympia.
“Significant investment across the campus, including a state-of-the-art ICC, new on-site hotels, and high quality public realm, is creating an attractive, connected destination for association meetings, which is why more associations are choosing Olympia for their flagship gatherings. Legends Global will partner with BAUS to optimise every aspect of the meeting, from scientific programme design and exhibition performance to the delegate journey, supported by these flexible, future ready spaces and excellent transport connectivity in West London. We look forward to delivering an exceptional experience in 2026 and again in 2028.”
