Dear colleagues and friends,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our IPNA congress in Kyoto, Japan

IPNA Congresses are international meetings that bring together experts in pediatric nephrology and facilitate international participation to improve patient care across the world. Immerse yourself in a dynamic global event combining science, education, and networking at IPNA 2027 to:

  • Expand your knowledge
    A 5-day program featuring the latest advances in global kidney health, presented by internationally recognized experts.
  • Grow your network
    Opportunities for collaborations with regional and international societies, networking with leaders in the field, and promoting education and research in pediatric nephrology around the world.
  • Advance your career
    Gain global recognition as you present and share your research and learn best practices from across the world.

Kyoto is a city where tradition meets innovation, a perfect setting for IPNA 2027 where the theme of our meting is “Bridging Tradition and Innovation in Pediatric Nephrology.”

Kyoto offers the ideal balance of academic excellence, cultural heritage, global appeal, and warm hospitality. We are confident it will inspire both scientific exchange and cultural appreciation at IPNA 2027.

The scientific committee for IPNA 2027 is proud to prepare a program of outstanding quality to stimulate cross-talk between different specialties involved in the treatment of children with kidney disorders. The program will include a full spectrum of presentations from keynote speakers, masterclasses, basic research and tertiary care nephrology as well as hands-on pre-congress CME events.

Hosting IPNA 2027 in Asia underscores the region‘s increasing importance in global healthcare. Asia is home to more than half of the world‘s population, and over 25% of the world‘s children. Asia represents a dynamic and rapidly expanding market for pediatric healthcare innovation, research, and collaboration. Supporting IPNA 2027 provides a unique opportunity to engage with this vital and growing sector.

We look forward to welcoming you to IPNA 2027 in Kyoto!
