Wish for a Baby Berlin

“Wish for a Baby” is much more than a traditional information event – it is a pioneering trade fair and exchange platform for people wishing to start a family. Held annually at the Estrel Convention Center in Berlin, the event is organised by the British agency Five Senses Media Ltd and has established itself as a unique meeting point where individuals, experts, and providers from various sectors come together to discuss the opportunities and challenges of modern family creation.

The event focuses on medically assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, ICSI, egg and sperm donation, and surrogacy. In addition, alternative approaches to enhancing fertility are presented. Legal and ethical aspects – including international treatment options and the regulatory framework in Germany – are also addressed by specialists from the fields of law, ethics, and politics. Alongside medical expertise, psychological counselling, emotional support, and personal stories play a key role – because for many, the path to parenthood is also a deeply emotional journey.

A special emphasis is placed on the diversity of modern family structures. LGBTQ+ couples, single individuals wishing to become parents (“solo mums” and “solo dads”), and people with pre-existing conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis will find targeted information, tailored support, and appropriate services. Alternative paths to parenthood – such as adoption or foster care – are also thoroughly explored, ensuring no one is left alone in their desire to build a family.

Exhibitors include organisations from reproductive medicine, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, psychology, family law, international fertility clinics, counselling centres, NGOs, associations, and advocacy groups. The event is aimed not only at private individuals with a desire to have children but also at medical professionals, counsellors, midwives, and representatives from adoption and foster care services. Through presentations, panel discussions, and expert talks, attendees gain practical insights, discover innovative products and services, and learn about forward-thinking developments in family-building.

Berlin adds special significance to the event. As an international and inclusive city, it offers the ideal setting for an event that champions diversity, openness, and cross-border exchange. The Estrel Convention Center – Europe’s largest hotel, congress, and entertainment complex – provides the perfect venue with its central location, excellent transport links, and state-of-the-art facilities.

“Wish for a Baby” is part of an international event series, with editions taking place in other cities beyond Berlin. In doing so, it creates a cross-border network that supports family building in the 21st century – informative, inspiring, and accessible.

Whether it’s initial orientation, medical progress, legal clarity, or emotional support – “Wish for a Baby” offers everything people need on their journey to parenthood. Right in the heart of Berlin, easily accessible by public transport, car, or plane, the Estrel Convention Center opens its doors once a year to welcome all those whose greatest wish is to have a child.

The Wish for a Baby will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 07. March to Sunday, 08. March 2026 in Berlin.
