As Chairperson of the Scientific Committee, my vision was to create a programme that truly feels like home. We wanted it to carry the freshness and depth of recent international conferences, while staying rooted in the realities of our own local practice. With that in mind, we’ve shaped sessions that speak to both worlds — bringing global perspectives while highlighting how things are actually done on our ground.
We’ve included interactive panel discussions with experts to shed light on topics that are often left in the shadows or dismissed as red tape. You’ll also hear from some of the most respected leaders in our field, as they share their personal journeys and how they navigated the unique challenges of working here. And to spark lively engagement, we’ve introduced pro–con debates designed to get everyone thinking, questioning, and contributing.
I hope this programme not only informs, but also inspires meaningful conversations and new ways forward — together.
