The World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) is the flagship scientific, educational, and networking event of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). Each year, WCN brings together kidney care professionals from around the world to exchange knowledge, showcase groundbreaking research, and participate in regionally-relevant symposia, training programs, and courses.

The 2026 iConference invites scholars, practitioners, creators, and community voices to contribute to critical conversations around information literacies, authenticity, and the use of digital technologies in shaping a more enlightened and inclusive digital society. Rooted in a re-examination of the Scottish Enlightenment—a movement that championed reason, education, inquiry, and civic progress—the 2026 theme challenges us to critically reflect on both the promise and limitations of these ideals. The Enlightenment catalysed revolutionary thinking about human potential and the organisation of knowledge, laying foundations for public libraries, encyclopaedias, scientific method, and democratic discourse. Yet, it also advanced progress through Eurocentric and exclusionary frameworks, marginalising voices through colonial, gendered, and class-based structures.

This conference asks: how can we carry forward the Enlightenment’s commitment to learning and justice, while also confronting and redressing its embedded inequalities? How can information systems today promote not just efficiency and access, but authenticity, trust, equity, and inclusion? As digital infrastructures increasingly shape how we learn, communicate, govern, and remember, the iConference offers a space to explore what it means to be digitally literate and ethically informed. We welcome proposals that interrogate the ethical, social, political, and cultural dimensions of information—from AI and misinformation to decolonisation, community archives, open data, and digital storytelling.

The program will also address the challenges of optimizing treatment selection and sequencing, featuring interactive components such as hands-on workshops and video-based sessions.

The venue is located on the historic campus of the University of Tokyo, where renowned professors such as Dr. Omata, Dr. Makuuchi, and Dr. Shiina once trained. The conference will be held during Tokyo's cherry blossom season, with Ueno Park, one of the city's most famous viewing spots, just a short walk away. The area is rich in cultural attractions, including museums, a zoo, and the historic district of Asakusa. With convenient access from Haneda and Narita airports, and a wide range of affordable accommodations nearby, it is an ideal location for international attendees.

We anticipate welcoming approximately 100 international and 200 domestic participants, and are especially committed to supporting young physicians and researchers. Alongside the scientific program, we are pleased to offer a unique cultural experience, "Tea Ceremony with Professors," fostering cross-generational and cross-cultural networking in a relaxed setting.

We are now accepting abstract submissions from researchers and clinicians worldwide, and encourage you to contribute to this exciting program. Your insights and experiences will help enrich the discussions and drive the future of liver tumor management.

We look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo in full bloom for what promises to be a vibrant, high-level scientific meeting filled with meaningful connections and academic exchange.
