The International Federation of Neuroendoscopy (IFNE) and the Latin American Neuroendoscopy Group (GLEN) jointly held the International Congress of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in May 2026. The meeting included the IX GLEN Latin American Congress of Neuroendoscopy and the IFNE Interim Meeting Congress and coincided with the 25th anniversary of the IFNE. The congress featured a comprehensive scientific and educational program, including six structured pre-congress courses supported in part by the International Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN). A Memorandum of Understanding between IFNE and GLEN was also signed, reinforcing international collaboration in neuroendoscopy. This editorial highlights the scientific, educational, and institutional relevance of the meeting and its implications for the future development of minimally invasive neurosurgery.
