Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Esteemed Guests,

​

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I welcome you to the 6th Congress of Asia-Pacific Society of Thyroid Surgery (APTS 2026), to be held in the vibrant city of Singapore from April 8 to 12, 2026.

​

Since its inception a decade ago, the APTS Congress has evolved into a globally recognized platform for advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Over the years, we have witnessed remarkable progress in surgical techniques, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary research. This congress has consistently reflected that evolution—broadening its scope, deepening its scientific impact, and attracting an increasingly global audience. Today, the APTS serves not only as a meeting point for experts and trainees, but also as a vital conduit for translating scientific breakthroughs into clinical practice and improving patient care.

​

The APTS 2026 promises to be our most dynamic and engaging meeting to date. With a program featuring state-of-the-art lectures, high-impact research presentations, hands-on surgical workshops, and interactive sessions, it offers a unique opportunity to learn, share, and connect. Most importantly, it remains a key platform for presenting the latest scientific advances, inspiring the next generation of leaders, and fostering cross-border academic exchange.

​

Whether you are a returning attendee or joining us for the first time, I encourage you to immerse yourself fully in the program, connect with colleagues from around the world, and contribute to the meaningful dialogue that will continue to shape the future of our field.

On behalf of the APTS, thank you for your continued support and dedication to our shared mission. We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore for what promises to be an unforgettable and impactful event.

​

Warm regards,

Kyung Tae
Director of the APTS
