Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to warmly invite you to Singapore for the 10th IFSO-APC Meeting & 11th OBES (Obesity, Bariatric & Endocrine Societies) Congress, to be held from 31 March to 2 April 2027.

On behalf of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Asia-Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC), the Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society of Singapore (OMSSS), the Singapore Association for the Study of Obesity (SASO), and the Endocrine and Metabolic Society of Singapore (EMSS), we are delighted to welcome surgeons, physicians, allied health professionals, nurses, researchers, trainees, and industry partners from across the Asia-Pacific region and around the world.

Guided by the congress theme, “Reimagining Obesity: Advancing Science & Transforming Care,” this meeting will serve as a dynamic platform to explore the future of obesity and metabolic disease management. As our field continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, we are entering an era of extraordinary opportunity to transform care through scientific innovation, inter- and multi-disciplinary collaboration, technological advancement, and, most importantly, patient-centred approaches.

Our scientific programme will bring together world-renowned experts to share the latest evidence, emerging technologies, best practices in metabolic and bariatric surgery, and integrated obesity care. Through stimulating discussions, engaging educational sessions, and meaningful networking opportunities, we aim to inspire new ideas, foster collaboration, and strengthen our collective commitment to improving the outcomes of patients living with obesity.

Singapore—a city renowned for its innovation, diversity, and global connectivity—provides an ideal setting for this important gathering. Beyond an enriching scientific experience, we hope you will enjoy the warm hospitality and cultural vibrancy that make Singapore truly distinctive.

We warmly invite you to save the date and look forward to personally hosting you in Singapore for what promises to be an inspiring and transformative congress. Together, let us reimagine obesity care and shape the future of metabolic bariatric surgery and medicine, advancing better outcomes for people living with obesity.

With warm regards,
