Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

Warm greetings from the Scientific and Organizing Committees of the 20th SEHA International Pediatric Conference (SIPC 2026), Co-Hosted by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital..

It is with immense pride and great pleasure that I extend a heartfelt invitation to join us at this milestone event, taking place from 15–17 May 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Abu Dhabi, UAE, under the theme “Cutting Edge Pediatric Update.”

As we mark the 20th edition of SIPC, we celebrate two decades of excellence in advancing pediatric care, education, and collaboration across the region and beyond. Over the past twenty years, SIPC has grown into a cornerstone of pediatric knowledge-sharing in the UAE, attracting leading voices in the field and fostering a vibrant platform for innovation and professional growth.

Aligned with this year’s theme, “Cutting Edge Pediatric Update,” SIPC 2026 will bring together a distinguished panel of local and international faculty members, many of whom bring decades of experience from globally renowned pediatric institutions. Their expertise will enrich an intellectually stimulating program covering the latest clinical updates, evidence-based practices, and emerging challenges in pediatric healthcare.

The Scientific Committee is diligently curating a dynamic three-day agenda featuring keynote lectures, case-based discussions, and hands-on practical workshops. These sessions are designed to highlight cutting-edge advances in pediatrics while fostering an engaging and interactive learning environment that supports continuous professional development and clinical excellence.

This 20th edition also presents an unparalleled opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, establish new collaborations, and contribute to shaping the future of pediatric healthcare. SIPC 2026 remains a vital forum for the exchange of ideas, innovations, and insights that drive progress in our field.

Beyond the conference halls, we invite you to explore the captivating city of Abu Dhabi—a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Its rich cultural heritage, welcoming atmosphere, and world-class amenities provide the perfect setting for this prestigious event.

We would be honored by your presence at SIPC 2026. Your participation will not only enrich the scientific discourse but also contribute meaningfully to the success of this special 20th anniversary celebration.

I look forward to welcoming you to Abu Dhabi in May 2026.

With warm regards,
