It is my great privilege and pleasure to extend a warm invitation to all members of the Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, as well as our colleagues, postgraduate students and friends from India and abroad, to IAPSCON 2026. The conference will be held in Bengaluru from 24th to 27th September 2026.
The theme for this year’s conference — “Innovation, Equity and Compassion in Pediatric Surgical Care” — embodies the essence of our evolving specialty. As pediatric surgeons, we stand at the crossroads of rapid technological advancement and the enduring human values that define our profession. This conference aims to explore how innovation can be harnessed responsibly to promote equitable and compassionate surgical care for every child.
IAPSCON 2026 aims to bring together leading experts, researchers, young surgeons and postgraduate students from across the country and beyond, to exchange ideas, share experiences, and inspire progress. The scientific program will feature thought-provoking lectures, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions designed to enrich learning and collaboration.
