Message by Congress President AOCCN 2027
I feel immense pleasure to invite you on behalf of the entire organizing committee to participate in 18th Asian & Oceanian Congress of Child Neurology (AOCCN2027) to be held in Lahore, Pakistan from March 24 – 28, 2027 under the inspiring theme “Quest and Shared Commitments: The Way Forward.”
This congress promises a scientifically robust and academically rich program, featuring leading experts, groundbreaking research, and stimulating discussions that will shape the future of child neurology not only regionally but also globally. The meeting will provide an excellent platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration and networking.
We are honored to host distinguished international faculty; regional colleagues & friends and we look forward to sharing not only scientific insights but also the warmth of Pakistani hospitality. Beyond the conference, participants will have the opportunity to experience the unique charm and cultural attractions of Pakistan: from cultural heritage to breathtaking landscapes.
The congress will be held in Lahore, the heart of Pakistan, widely known as the “City of Gardens” and the “City of History.” Delegates will have the opportunity to explore the city’s magnificent Mughal and Victorian-era heritage, reflected in iconic landmarks such as the Lahore Fort, the majestic Badshahi Mosque and the timeless Shalimar Gardens. The historic Walled City of Lahore, along with its vibrant bazaars including Anarkali, continues to reflect a living legacy of Mughal-era commerce. Architectural masterpieces such as the Wazir Khan Mosque, Shahi Hammam and the Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjit Singh stand as eloquent testimony to the architectural brilliance and artistic refinement of their respective eras. The Lahore Museum further offers insight into the nation’s rich history, while the city’s renowned culinary culture: from traditional street food to fine dining adds to its enduring charm & vibrant night life. Lastly, do not forget to visit Khewra to witness the world’s second-largest salt mine.
Alongside the scientific program, AOCCN 2027 offers the opportunity to explore new ideas, gain insights from experts, make new friends and enjoy the unique tourist attractions of Pakistan: from mountains of the north to cultural richness of Lahore.
Looking forward to welcome you in Lahore.
