Young Investigators

The Young Investigator Committee is excited to welcome all trainees to IXA 2025! We’ve got plenty of educational and networking events lined up to make sure your experience is both fun and valuable.

Young Investigators Orientation Session

The Young Investigators Committee will help you find your way around the congress in terms of logistics and programming. Attending this short gathering will ensure that you don’t miss out on anything highly relevant to trainees and gives you a chance to meet other trainees. Icebreaker games included!

Young Investigators are invited to arrive at the boat for 19:00 for a special networking event amongst trainees.

Join us for an unforgettable evening aboard Le Bateau Genève, a beautifully preserved historic vessel moored right on Lake Geneva, beside the iconic Jet d’eau. Set against the stunning backdrop of the lake and sunset (around 19:15 - come early for photos!), this unique networking event offers more than just incredible views.

Once launched in 1896 for the Swiss National Exhibition, Le Bateau Genève now serves as a beacon of support and integration for those in need—hosting social projects and providing daily breakfasts for over 150 people in precarious situations. Your participation helps support these ongoing initiatives, with proceeds reinvested into the community.

Enjoy local food and wine, warm company, and meaningful conversations with fellow attendees—all while giving back.

✨ Space is limited—secure your spot today and be part of this special night of connection and purpose!
