Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to PEDICON 2026, the 63rd Annual Conference of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, from 16th to 20th January 2026, at the iconic Biswa Bangla Convention and Exhibition Centre, Newtown, Kolkata.

The theme, “Child Rights and Survival – Steps to a New World,” reflects the pivotal role of pediatrics in shaping a brighter future for children. The Scientific Committee has meticulously curated an academic program that promises to ignite thought, foster innovation, and enhance clinical practice.

With over 1,000 distinguished faculty from across the globe, 10 parallel academic tracks, and presentations of more than 1,000 papers and posters, PEDICON 2026 will showcase cutting-edge research, novel approaches, and best practices in pediatric care. Our sessions will include keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive formats, ensuring a rich and comprehensive learning experience.

Kolkata’s vibrant intellectual and cultural energy will serve as the perfect backdrop for this academic endeavor. I urge you to join us in these meaningful deliberations that will undoubtedly influence the future of child health.

Looking forward to your participation in January 2026!
