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,
​
