On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my privilege to invite you to the 7th Annual National Conference of the Chest Council of India – CCICON 2026, to be held in the serene and culturally rich city of Guwahati, the gateway to the Northeast of India.

Over the years, CCICON has evolved into more than a conference — it has become a shared platform where ideas are exchanged freely, experience is valued, and the collective wisdom of our fraternity shapes the future of pulmonary medicine. As we mark this seventh edition, the conference stands as a reflection of our enduring commitment to academic excellence, ethical practice, and collaborative growth in respiratory care.

CCICON 2026 brings together an exceptional faculty of national and international experts, offering a carefully curated scientific program that blends evidence-based learning, emerging research, and practical insights relevant to everyday clinical practice. Equally important are the opportunities for meaningful interaction — conversations that inspire, collaborations that endure, and friendships that strengthen our professional community.

Hosting this year’s conference in Guwahati allows us to pair academic rigor with the quiet inspiration of nature, tradition, and culture. The warmth of the region, its scenic landscapes, and its rich heritage provide a fitting backdrop for reflection, renewal, and connection.

Your presence is what gives CCICON its true character and purpose. I warmly invite you to join us at CCICON 2026, as we come together to learn, to share, and to shape the future of pulmonary medicine — united in purpose and strengthened by camaraderie.

I look forward to welcoming you to Guwahati for what promises to be a truly enriching and memorable experience.

Dr. Jogesh Sarma
