Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you to ISACON AP 2026, the 35th Annual Andhra Pradesh State Conference of Anaesthesiology, scheduled to be held on 24th, 25th & 26th July 2026 at Ayana Convention, Vijayawada.

The theme of this conference is – ANAESTHESIA - Integrating Mind, Medicine and Machine. This theme beautifully captures the essence of modern anaesthesia practice and the direction in which our specialty continues to evolve. Anaesthesia has always been more than the administration of drugs or the operation of sophisticated equipment. At its heart lies the mind — the clinical judgment, vigilance, compassion, and ethical responsibility of the anaesthesiologist. Alongside this stands medicine — the strong scientific foundation and evidence-based practice that guides our interventions. Continuous research, innovation, and education have transformed anaesthesia into a dynamic specialty that plays a central role in perioperative care. Complementing the mind and medicine is the machine — advanced monitoring systems, ultrasound guidance, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation. The true strength of anaesthesia lies in the harmonious integration of these three elements.

On behalf of the Vijayawada Society of Anaesthesiologists, we extend a warm and cordial invitation to all delegates to join us for three days of enriching academic deliberations, knowledge sharing, skill enhancement, and meaningful professional interactions.

ISACON AP 2026 promises a comprehensive scientific program featuring eminent faculty, engaging sessions, hands-on workshops, and lively discussions — complemented by the warmth and hospitality that Vijayawada is renowned for.

Beyond the conference halls, Vijayawada, nestled along the banks of the Krishna River, offers more than just a venue — it is a city rich in heritage and culture. Delegates can explore the sacred Kanaka Durga Temple, admire the iconic Prakasam Barrage, and visit the majestic Buddha Statue at Amaravathi, a symbol of timeless peace and spirituality. Unwind at the tranquil Bhavani Island, experience the elegance of Mangalagiri handlooms, the craftsmanship of Kondapalli toys, and the artistry of Pedana Kalamkari. Complete your journey by indulging in Andhra Pradesh’s renowned local gastronomy and street bites.

We look forward to welcoming you all to Vijayawada and to making ISACON AP 2026 a memorable, intellectually stimulating, and culturally enriching experience.

With warm regards,
Organising Committee
ISACON AP 2026
