Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to invite you to the 22nd Asian Pacific Congress of Nephrology (APCN 2024) to be held in conjunction with the 44th Annual Meeting of the Korean Society of Nephrology (KSN 2024) from June 13 (Thu) to 16 (Sun), 2024 at Coex, Seoul, Korea.

Following the first annual meeting in 1981, the KSN has held scientific congresses annually since 1992. We have also successfully hosted numerous international meetings including the 8th Congress of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) in 1998, the 12th Asian Pacific Congress of Nephrology (APCN) in 2010, the 7th Asia Pacific Chapter Meeting of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (APCM-ISPD) in 2015, and the 5th Asia Pacific AKI & CRRT 2023 (APAC 2023) this year.

Under the theme of "Promoting Sustainable Kidney Health: The Asia-Pacific and Beyond," APCN & KSN 2024 is designing an exceptional program featuring high-quality scientific sessions that will provide a great opportunity for participants to broaden their knowledge through lectures by distinguished speakers from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Attendees will also have the chance to engage in stimulating discussions and debates with fellow professionals. 

We are particularly excited to announce that APCN & KSN 2024 is dedicated to sustainability. In line with this commitment, we have prepared sessions on Green Nephrology to raise the awareness on sustainable kidney care. In collaboration with Coex, the conference itself will be conducted in an eco-friendly manner. Join us to dive deep into the innovations of sustainable kidney care at APCN & KSN 2024 and advance eco-friendly nephrology practices.

Last but not least, the host city of Seoul is well-known for its hospitality and heritage that will allow all participants to experience an attractive blend of innovation and tradition. We sincerely hope that you will join us at APCN & KSN 2024 to share your valuable expertise with us and enjoy the programs that we will prepare for you.

We look forward to meeting you all at APCN & KSN 2024 in Seoul, Korea!
