Welcome Message
Welcome to the 5th South East Asian Thoracic Society (SEATS 2026), proudly returning to our home city of Singapore from 11 – 14 November 2026.
It is with great pride and excitement that we invite you to this landmark gathering of thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, oncologists, anaesthesiologists, allied health professionals, researchers, and industry partners from across South East Asia and beyond. After successful meetings in Hue, Vietnam, Bangkok, Manila, and Bali, SEATS now returns to Singapore (where our society was founded in 2019) to celebrate our shared journey and to shape the next chapter of thoracic medicine and surgery in our region.
Why attend SEATS 2026?
The 5th Annual Congress of the South East Asian Thoracic Society returns to Singapore, bringing together the region’s leading minds in thoracic surgery, pulmonology, and oncology.
Under the theme “Where Boundaries End, Innovation Begins – Breaking Silos Through Integration, Robotics and AI,” SEATS 2026 showcases how multidisciplinary collaboration, advanced robotics, and artificial intelligence are reshaping clinical practice, improving patient outcomes, and driving scientific progress across Asia and beyond.
After a dynamic 2025 edition in Singapore filled with expert insights, hands-on workshops, and impactful discussions, APICS 2026 heads to Bali — elevating the region’s leading critical care symposium to new heights.
It unites a diverse and multidisciplinary community of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, and students through CPD-accredited symposia, workshops, and SHARE sessions that address real-world challenges, showcase innovative solutions, and highlight multidisciplinary research.
Human-centred activities such as music therapy, fun runs, and faculty events further distinguish the APICS experience, making it the premier platform to advance practice, expand networks, and shape the future of critical care.
