Welcome to IAPSCON 2026, where the rhythm of pediatric surgery finds new harmony in Bengaluru — the city where innovation meets timeless charm.
This year’s conference opens with the overture of an interactive live CME, offering a glimpse into future-ready surgical techniques and thought-provoking exchanges. The first movement unfolds with high-impact academic sessions designed to ignite curiosity and challenge conventions.
As the tempo builds, the second movement brings the vibrant energy of young minds — fresh ideas, perspectives, and bold questions redefining what we thought we knew.
And then, the crescendo — a celebration of collaboration, connection, and camaraderie — culminating in the General Body Meeting, where shared voices guide the path forward, followed by a grand evening of music, fellowship, and celebration. It’s where science meets spirit in the true tradition of IAPSCON.
All this and more, set against the backdrop of Bengaluru, a city that beautifully embodies our 2026 theme: “Innovation, Equity, and Compassion in Pediatric Surgical Care.”
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
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.
Bengaluru, known as the “Garden City” and the “Silicon Valley of India,” provides the ideal backdrop for this convergence of minds. The city’s blend of scientific enterprise, cultural richness, and warm hospitality promises a memorable experience for all delegates and accompanying families.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite you to join us in Bengaluru for an enriching, engaging, and memorable IAPSCON 2026. Together, let us celebrate our specialty and reaffirm our commitment to advancing pediatric surgical care with innovation, equity, and compassion.
Warm regards,
