EASL CONGRESS | BARCELONA 2026

La Fira Barcelona · 4,000 attendees · 2 stages

Europe’s largest liver health congress needed a home worthy of the science happening inside it. For EASL 2026, we designed and built two complete stages at La Fira Barcelona, spaces where hepatologists, researchers and health professionals from across the globe could think, debate and connect.

The design concept started with a single question: What does Barcelona have to do with liver science? More than you’d think. Gaudí spent a lifetime borrowing from nature’s geometry, the honeycomb, the lattice and the organic repeating unit. The liver, at a cellular level, is built on the same logic. So we took that hexagonal form and ran with it: mosaic panels in EASL’s full colour palette, built not as decoration but as a kind of molecular backdrop—modern, scientific and unmistakably Barcelona.

The Hepatology Stage served as the congress anchor, featuring a panoramic LED screen, a signature hexagonal wall, and freestanding 3D EASL lettering. Seating mixes bench clusters in vivid cushion colours with café-style table settings, keeping the room energised throughout a long programme.

The Arena Stage plays a different role entirely: a self-contained space for science and research sessions, built in EASL navy and red with a suspended overhead ring that orients attendees the moment they walk in. More intimate. More focused. Designed for the kind of conversation that moves a field forward.

Both stages operated live and online, reaching an audience that stretched well beyond the walls of La Fira Barcelona.
