From Science to Practice

By bringing sports into the conference, we hope to inspire participants to embrace the very principles we advocate in clinical practice.

Connect Through Activity

As we exchange scientific knowledge, let us also celebrate the spirit of movement, wellness and collaboration through activities like Yoga, Badminton, Pickle Ball and Cricket.
