28th Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) Congress

28th Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) Congress is organized by MCI Australia and will be held from Oct 28 - Nov 01, 2026 at COEX Convention & Exhibition Center, Gangnam gu, Seoul, South Korea.

Theme: Bridging Innovative Research and Patient Care: Shaping Our Future In Rheumatology

Description:
The congress will be held from 28 October 2026 (Wednesday) to 1 November 2026 (Sunday). It will be a celebration of not just the fantastic hospitality and welcoming nature of our Korean colleagues, but also the perfect location to bring together the whole of our cohort of colleagues from across the Asia-Pacific region.

They hope that this congress marks both a unique and personal experience for attendees, in Seoul as our world-class host city, as well as another milestone in APLAR’s efforts to bridge communication and culture barriers for rheumatologists, physicians, nurses, researchers, and allied health professionals working to understand and fight rheumatic diseases across the breadth of the Asia-Pacific region.

The congress will draw on international, regional, and local Korean speakers to provide world-class research, scientific, and medical content for our attendees. The APLAR 2026 Congress theme will be reflected through the scientific program, harnessing amazing recent growth in the number of high-quality abstract submissions for the APLAR congress, and pairing this with the strengths of a local program supported by luminaries from the Korean College of Rheumatology.

They eagerly anticipate your presence in South Korea in October 2026, as we embark on another milestone in our collective journey toward a better understanding and management of rheumatic diseases in our region. We look forward to welcoming you to Seoul in October 2026.
