Welcome Letter

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great honor to invite you to attend the 53rd Annual Meeting of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN), which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, from October 31 to November 4, 2027.

For more than half a century, the ISPN Annual Meeting has served as the international forum for advancing pediatric neurosurgery. We are committed to continuing this tradition.

As pediatric neurosurgery continues to evolve, multidisciplinary team work and international collaboration have never been more important. This specialty also needs the help of other specialists, such as nurses, neurophysiologists, interventionists, epileptologists, urologists, and other colleagues interested in neurosciences. ISPN 2027 in Taipei aims to provide a platform where diverse perspectives, multidisciplinary expertise, and innovative ideas converge to address the challenges facing our patients and our profession. Through plenary lectures, focused symposia, instructional courses, panel discussions, hands-on courses, and scientific presentations, the meeting will foster meaningful dialogue and promote the translation of new discoveries into improved patient care.

Taipei is a modern and dynamic city at the crossroads of medicine, technology, and innovation. The meeting venue has been chosen as the NTUH International Convention Center, part of National Taiwan University Hospital, Taiwan's most prestigious academic institution. The venue provides an inspiring academic environment and well-equipped facilities for pre- and post-congress courses, as well as excellent transportation access and a wide range of accommodation options nearby. Held during Taipei's delightful autumn season, our annual gathering will bring together colleagues from across the Asia-Pacific region and around the world in pursuit of our shared commitment to excellence in patient care, research, and education. Against a backdrop of vibrant city life, contemporary architecture, and rich cultural heritage, participants will find an inspiring environment for scientific exchange, collaboration, and friendship.

We warmly invite you to join us in ISPN 2027. Your participation and scientific contributions will be essential in making this meeting a memorable milestone for our society. We hope the meeting will strengthen existing partnerships, inspire new collaborations, and support the development of the next generation of pediatric neurosurgeons.
