Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is a moment of great pride for the orthopaedic fraternity in India as AFFASCON 2027 is set to be hosted in India, bringing the 11th Asian Federation of Foot and Ankie Congress to the vibrant city of Kolkata from 10th to 13th November 2027 at the prestigious Biswa Bangla Convention Centre.

The Asian Federation of Foot and Ankle Congress has evolved into one of the most respected scientific platforms in the region, bringing together leading experts, innovators, and young surgeons dedicated to advancing the field of foot and ankle surgery. AFFASCON 2027 will continue this proud tradition by welcoming an outstanding international faculty and delegates from across Asia and around the world to share knowledge, experience, and innovation.

India has long been recognised for its remarkable contributions to the field of orthopaedics. Indian orthopaedic surgeons have played a significant role in advancing surgical techniques, clinical research, and academic training, while delivering high-quality and cost-effective care to one of the world's largest and most diverse patient populations. Hosting AFFASCON 2027 reflects the growing global recognition of India's academic leadership and the dynamic progress of foot and ankle surgery in the region.

The scientific programme will be thoughtfully designed to provide a stimulating environment for learning and collaboration. Through distinguished keynote lectures, symposia, expert panel discussions, instructional courses, and high-quality free paper presentations, the conference will showcase the latest advances, emerging technologies, and evolving surgical strategies shaping the future of foot and ankle care.

Equally inspiring is the setting of this conference-Kolkata, a city where tradition meets intellectual brilliance. Known as the cultural capital of India, Kolkata has a long legacy of scholarship, medical excellence, art, literature, and warm hospitality. From its historic landmarks and vibrant streets to its celebrated cuisine and cultural heritage, the city offers a unique experience that will make your visit both enriching and memorable.

As Asia continues to shape the future of orthopaedic innovation, AFFASCON 2027 aims to serve as a meeting ground where global expertise. regional insights, and collaborative ideas converge to inspire the next ero of foot and ankle surgery. On behalf of the Organising Committee, we extend our warmest invitation to join us in Kolkata for four days of exceptional science, meaningful collaboration, and memorable experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to AFFASCON 2027 in India.

Warm Regards,

Organising Committee
