Dear Distinguished Colleagues, Friends, and Members of the Thyroid Community,

It is my greatest honor and privilege to welcome you to the 15th Asia Oceania Thyroid Association Congress, to be held from August 25 to 28, 2027, at Lotte Hotel World, Jamsil, Seoul, Korea.

The Asia Oceania Thyroid Association has played a vital role in promoting scientific advancement, clinical excellence, and collaboration in thyroidology throughout our region. As Congress President, I am delighted to host this important meeting in Seoul, bringing together leading experts, clinicians, researchers, and young scholars who share a common passion for improving the care of patients with thyroid diseases.

The 15th AOTA Congress will provide a valuable forum for presenting cutting-edge research, exchanging clinical knowledge, and discussing emerging issues in thyroidology. We are committed to preparing a high-quality scientific program that encourages active discussion, meaningful collaboration, and the development of lasting professional relationships.

Beyond the scientific program, we hope this congress will offer all participants an opportunity to strengthen friendship and fellowship within the AOTA community. Seoul, with its unique blend of history, culture, innovation, and hospitality, will provide a memorable setting for our gathering. We also hope that your visit will allow you to experience the beauty of Korea as the country welcomes the beginning of its autumn season.

I sincerely hope that the 15th AOTA Congress will be a rewarding occasion for academic exchange, professional networking, and warm friendship among colleagues from across Asia, Oceania, and the world.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I warmly invite you to join us in Seoul in August 2027.
We look forward to welcoming you to Korea.

Sincerely,
