MD., MSc.
President of World Rhinology Congress 2026

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the joint convening of the 44th ISIAN Conference, the 26th IRS Conference, and the Thai Rhinologic Society (TRS) Annual Meeting, which will be unified as "World Rhinology 2026." On behalf of the Thai Rhinologic Society, we are honored to co-host this prestigious event. We warmly invite you to join us at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Center at CentralWorld, Bangkok, Thailand, from November 2-4, 2026. The congress will be followed by a Post-Congress Workshop on Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgery on November 5-6, 2026, at the Faculty of Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.

This is a premier gathering that will unite over 1,300 international researchers, clinicians, and allied health professionals dedicated to Rhinology, Allergy, Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, Sleep-Disordered Breathing, and Facial Plastic Surgery. It is a unique opportunity to share groundbreaking insights, foster global collaboration, and shape the future of our specialty. Under the theme “Rhinology and Beyond: The Next Era of Precision Medicine and Surgery,” our comprehensive program features keynote presentations, symposia, instructional courses, and hands-on workshops. We are privileged to be joined by a distinguished faculty of world-renowned speakers and experts. Your active engagement is highly encouraged, as the connections forged here often blossom into fruitful collaborations and enduring professional relationships.

Beyond the scientific program, we hope you will take the time to experience the vibrant culture and renowned hospitality of Bangkok, a city rich in heritage and modern attractions. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, partners, and the unwavering dedication of our Organizing Committee. Your participation is the cornerstone of this event's success, and we extend our deepest gratitude to each of you traveling from across the globe to share your expertise.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok for a profoundly enriching, productive, and enjoyable conference.

Warmest regards,
