Greetings from The Holy City of Amritsar!
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to extend a warm invitation to IASSACON 2025 (11th National Conference of Indian Association of Surgeons for Sleep Apnoea) scheduled to take place on 1st, 2nd and 3rd August, 2025.
Immediately after IASSA entrusted us with this great responsibility, we have set ourselves in mission mode, committed to make this prestigious event a truly once-in-a-life-time experience for the participants. Taking care of the gross exigencies as well as micro detailing, our team is meticulously planning the rich academics, comfortable stay and memorable sightseeing. In consultation with the stalwarts of the subject and the esteemed office bearers of IASSA, we shall dish out an academic feast encompassing almost all medical and surgical specialties related to management of snoring and sleep apnoea. The comprehensive program is designed to satisfy everybody’s quest for knowledge as well as set a holistic and futuristic road map for this important field.
Besides academics, a visit to the holy city of Amritsar is on the bucket list of every Indian and that is not without reason. Amritsar, founded by Shri Guru Ram Das Ji, the Fourth Sikh Guru in 1574 A.D. , situated just 28 km from the Indo-Pak border, stands as a major religious, cultural, and economic center. This visit will offer you opportunities to absorb the spiritual serenity of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), experience the patriotic fervour at Wagah Indo-Pak border and reflect at the solemn Jallianwala Bagh, the site of the tragic 1919 massacre. You can also visit Shri Valmiki Tirth, Durgiana Mandir, Gobindgarh Fort, the Partition Museum, Maharaja Ranjit Singh panorama and Sadda Pind (our village), each offering a unique glimpse into Punjab's rich culture and historical legacy. Throughout your stay, you will indulge in the unforgettable flavors of authentic Amritsari cuisine.
Amritsar’s extensive connectivity to all the major cities of India via rail, road and air will help you chalk out an easy and comfortable travel plan.
We encourage you to register at the earliest to take advantage of additional discounts on the already subsidized registration fee.
We look forward to welcoming you and your families with the warmth and hospitality that Amritsar is renowned for.
With Warm Regards,
Dr. Karunesh Gupta

About us
Indian Association of Surgeons for Sleep Apnoea (IASSA) started at Chennai in 2012 and it is the first national-level association to address the scientific demands of surgeons interested in this field formed with the guidance and encouragement of Prof. Mohan Kameswaran and Prof. E.C. Vinaya Kumar, who are the Patron of this association. Dr. Seemab Shaikh, Founder President, Dr. P. Vijaya Krishnan, Founder Secretary, and Dr. Gowri Shankar, Founder Treasurer further took initiatives to formulate the Bylaws and got it registered under "The Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (Tamil Nadu Act27 of 1975) on 14th Aug 2012".
The main aim and objective of IASSA is to act as a bridge between different sleep societies, supporting and encouraging the worldwide exchange of clinical information and scientific studies related to sleep apnoea. Because sleep health will be advanced by information, IASSA will strive to advance knowledge about snoring and sleep apnoea and its disorders amongst both healthcare workers and the general public. This will include both education about the means to "healthy sleep" as well as awareness of the adverse consequences of sleep dysfunction on the quality of life and the health of an individual.
In 2013, IASSA was recognized and became the Associate body of World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) which was one of the important milestones for IASSA and now we have become the associate society of World Sleep Society (WSS).
Every year we conduct Annual National Conference, Live Surgical workshops and CME programs across the country.
Recently we have started the Certified Training Program (CTP) under the aegis of IASSA which is a 2 months training program at various IASSA accredited Institutions.
