INVITATION

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the IAP Turkish Division, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the “IAP Turkish Division 2026 Annual Meeting,” which will be held on October 28–29, 2026, in Istanbul, Türkiye, alongside the 35th Turkish National Pathology Congress.

The IAP Turkish Division Annual Meeting is planned as an international educational and scientific platform to be organized regularly each year, aiming to share the most up-to-date advances in diagnostic pathology through international collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange. We believe that this meeting will also provide an important opportunity for pathologists and pathology trainees from neighboring countries and beyond to interact with distinguished national and international experts, exchange experiences, and establish new academic collaborations.

This year’s scientific program will cover current developments, emerging concepts, and practical approaches in molecular pathology, hepato-pancreatobiliary pathology, and gastrointestinal pathology. The meeting is being organized through the collaboration of the IAP Turkish Division with the Association for Molecular Pathology, the Rodger C. Haggitt Gastrointestinal Pathology Society, the Hans Popper Hepatopathology Society, and the Pancreatobiliary Pathology Society.

Through lectures, panel discussions, multidisciplinary sessions, and interactive educational activities, participants will have the opportunity to discuss the latest scientific developments shaping the future of pathology. We are also delighted to welcome young pathologists to present their scientific studies aligned with the meeting's core topics. As reflected in our scientific program, this meeting aims to strengthen international cooperation, support professional development, and encourage academic interaction among colleagues from different institutions and countries, with a special emphasis on young pathologists and trainee.

We would be delighted to welcome you to Istanbul for this distinguished international gathering and to share an inspiring scientific experience together.

With our sincere regards and best wishes,
