What to expect

HCIM 2026 is where we reconnect, reflect, and look ahead — together.

Over three days in Lausanne, we’ll gather across disciplines and borders to explore the future of healthcare clowning. Expect inspiring talks, rich exchange, and practical insights on presence, play, care, and collaboration.

Whether on stage, in a hospital room, or behind the scenes — this is your space to celebrate, learn, and shape what’s next.

How to get involved?

Getting involved in an international meeting is easy and impactful. You can become a partner by collaborating with organizers to enhance the event’s reach. If you have research or insights to share, submit your abstract to present your work and engage with global experts. Lastly, spread the word by sharing the event with your network on social media, inviting peers, and encouraging participation to boost visibility and engagement.
