Dear Colleagues

We are delighted and very excited to welcome you to the joint meeting of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) and the Australasian Pancreatic Club (APC) to be held Australia 19-21 September 2025! 

We are very pleased to have the opportunity of hosting this conference in Melbourne, the culturally rich metropolis capital of Victoria with all that it has to offer in terms of its rich history and heritage, a range of leisure activities and exciting nightlife.

This meeting will be the first major international ‘exclusively pancreas-focused’ meeting to be held in Australia since 2007 and, as the tagline of the meeting indicates, we are curating a scientific program encompassing cutting-edge basic and clinical research in all aspects of pancreatology, with a particular emphasis on translating innovative research into improved outcomes for patients with pancreatic disease.

We are looking forward to a gathering of leading experts, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share ideas, discuss innovative treatment strategies, and collaborate on initiatives that will shape the future of pancreatic disease management.

As we confront the challenges of conditions like pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and other pancreatic disorders, your presence and participation will play a crucial role in driving progress in our field.  We hope  you will find the sessions insightful, the networking opportunities valuable, and the experience enriching as we work together toward a brighter future for patients affected by pancreatic diseases.

Thank you for being part of this important event. We look forward to an inspiring and productive conference with you!
