It gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to the 27th Annual Conference of the Indian Association of Endocrine Surgeons (IAESCON 2026), to be held on 23rd - 25th October 2026 in the vibrant city of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, the heart of India, and now an emerging hub for academic excellence and surgical innovation. Pre-conference day will feature hands-on cadaveric workshops in trans-oral endoscopic thyroidectomy via vestibular approach (TOETVA), retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy, oncoplastic breast surgical procedures, low-cost sentinel lymph node biopsy and other advanced thyroid and adrenal surgery. We intend to connect the Indian endocrine surgery fraternity with the global endocrine surgery associations and key opinion leaders. Efforts are on to have a "convergence session" of IAES with various international and other national endocrine surgery associations. As our specialty continues to evolve rapidly, I urge every member, trainee, and resident to participate actively not just as delegates, but as contributors. Let us come together to learn, share, and celebrate the remarkable progress of our fraternity. I look forward to welcoming you all to Jabalpur for an unforgettable academic and cultural experience.
