Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of APCON 2023, we extend a warm invitation to all to attend the 71^st Annual Conference of Indian Association of Pathologists and Microbiologists being organized in collaboration with the Indian Association of Pathologists and Microbiologists, International Academy of Pathology- Indian Division, Pathology Education Society, and the Department of Pathology, AIIMS, New Delhi from December 6^th to 10^th, 2023 at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.

The theme for 2023 APCON is Pathology at the forefront of Precision Medicine, to acknowledge the fact that pathology is now at the core of modern precision medicine practice. Carefully chosen National and International experts will engage in academic sessions, workshops, CMEs, orations, workshops, plenary sessions, parallel CMEs, academic symposiums, and breakfast sessions, and the newly introduced ‘late evening sessions’, ‘topics beyond pathology to excel’, and ‘sponsored symposium’ during these five days academic extravaganza. Also, this meeting is encouraging top-notch industry partner participation and for better academic and research collaboration and networking.

We hope the beautiful monuments, infrastructure, and finger-licking food of Delhi will add joy to this celebration of pathologists and laboratory scientists.

We wholeheartedly welcome you to join us physically for APCON 2023.
