Dear Colleagues and Friends

It is really a great pleasure and honoured indeed for me to welcome you all on the occasion of “Echo Asia 2026”, being jointly organized by Asian Pacific Association of Echocardiography & Indian Academy of Echocardiography from 8th- 11th October, 2026 at New Delhi, India.

The main theme of Echo Asia 2026 is “Enhancing Clinical Potential by Advanced AI Powered Echocardiography”, highlights the transformative role of imaging in shaping the future of cardiovascular care. The scientific program will feature renowned international and national faculty, state-of-the-art lectures, interactive workshops, live demonstrations, AI-powered imaging sessions, and case-based discussions. It promises to be a true feast of learning for cardiologists, echocardiographers, multimodality imaging experts, sonographers, intensivists, Interventional Cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons, Paediatric Cardiologists, and trainees alike.

Echocardiography has evolved into a cornerstone of modern cardiology & Multispecalitiy, offering unparalleled insights into cardiac structure, function, and hemodynamics. The Asia region has emerged as a vibrant hub of innovation, clinical expertise, and collaborative research in this discipline. This conference is designed to reflect that spirit bridging cutting-edge Strategies science with real-world clinical expertise in the arena of diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, predictive precision medicines.

The emerging role of AI Powered Echocardiography will be a revolution in crystalizing Automated Image Acquisition, Automated Measurements, Disease Detection & Diagnosis, Workflow Optimization with faster reporting and reducing cardiology workload and Integration with wearables and echo devices with AI driven risk prediction and AI Guided Tele echocardiogrpahhy.

Equally important, the conference will provide an exceptional platform for networking, academic exchange, and collaboration among colleagues from across Asia and the world. Together, we aim to advance the science of echocardiography, foster young talent, and inspire new ideas that will ultimately benefit our patients.
