Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee, it is with great pleasure and honor that I extend a warm invitation to you to join us at the 22nd Asia-Pacific Congress of Nephrology (APCN 2024). The congress will be jointly held with the 44th Annual Meeting of the Korean Society of Nephrology (KSN 2024) from June 13th to 16th, 2024 at Coex, Seoul, Korea.

Our mission is to present a comprehensive scientific program that encompasses the latest updates in all fields of nephrology, bridging both basic research and clinical medicine. The program has been meticulously prepared by experts from the Korean Society of Nephrology and the Asia-Pacific Society of Nephrology, guided by the principles of ‘diversity’ and ‘equity.’

APCN & KSN 2024 will foster international collaboration through seven joint symposiums with the renowned nephrology societies of ERA, KDIGO, ISN, ISPD, ISRNM, APSDA-ASDIN and ESPN. This cross-cultural exchange of knowledge will undoubtedly enrich the congress experience.

Our commitment to promoting intellectual engagement and exchange of ideas will be further strengthened by providing opportunities for oral and poster presentations. This platform will enable participants to showcase their research works and encourage meaningful interactions with fellow attendees.

One of our key focuses is nurturing the next generation of nephrologists. To achieve this, we have also designed educational programs dedicated to inspiring young nephrologists who will shape the future of nephrology research and practice.

Moreover, we are delighted to announce that the vibrant city of Seoul will serve as our host, famed for its warm hospitality and rich heritage. We are confident that the fusion of innovation and tradition in this splendid city will enhance your experience during the congress.

Your presence and valuable expertise are integral to making APCN & KSN 2024 a resounding success. We eagerly anticipate your participation and the stimulating discussions that will undoubtedly enrich the scientific discourse.

With utmost sincerity, we eagerly look forward to welcoming you all to APCN & KSN 2024 in Seoul, Korea!
