It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to the 87th Annual Conference of the Association of Surgeons of India – ASICON 2027, to be held in the vibrant and historic city of Kochi, Kerala, in December 2027.
Over four inspiring days, ASICON 2027 promises an exceptional academic experience that we are confident will exceed your expectations. From our elegant conference venue featuring state-of-the-art auditoriums and thoughtfully designed learning spaces, every detail has been planned with your comfort and learning in mind. Meticulously curated Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions, an outstanding international and national faculty, and stimulating scientific deliberations promise a truly enriching academic experience. Complementing this is the irresistible flavour of authentic Kerala cuisine and the warm hospitality of God's Own Country, ensuring that every aspect of ASICON 2027 comes together to make your visit truly memorable.
ASICON has always been more than an annual scientific conference—it is the celebration of our profession, our fraternity, and our shared commitment to advancing surgical care. Each year, surgeons from every corner of India and across the country gather to exchange knowledge, showcase innovations, rekindle friendships, and inspire the next generation of surgeons.
The Organising Committee has planned a comprehensive scientific programme featuring internationally renowned faculties,state-of-the-art lectures, panel discussions, live and video operative sessions, postgraduate teaching programmes, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to explore the latest advances in minimally invasive surgery, robotics, artificial intelligence, and surgical education.
Kochi, fondly known as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, provides a magnificent backdrop for this prestigious gathering. With its fascinating history, scenic waterfront, tranquil backwaters, rich cultural heritage, and world-famous Kerala hospitality, Kochi offers every delegate an experience that extends beyond academics. The pleasant weather in December, exquisite cuisine, vibrant traditions, and nearby tourist destinations make it an ideal conference destination for you and your family.
I encourage every member of ASI to participate actively in this landmark conference. Bring your scientific contributions, your enthusiasm, and your passion for surgery. Let us learn from one another, strengthen our professional bonds, and continue our collective journey towards excellence in surgical education, innovation, and patient care.
I also invite our young surgeons and postgraduate trainees to make the most of this unique opportunity to interact with masters in surgery, present their research, develop new collaborations, and become part of the vibrant ASI family.
On behalf of the Association of Surgeons of India, I extend my best wishes to the Organising Committee for their dedicated efforts in hosting ASICON 2027. I am confident that this conference will set new benchmarks in academic excellence, organisation, and hospitality.
I welcome you all for our ASICON2027 at Kochi.
