SEATS 2026 returns to Singapore, the birthplace of the South East Asian Thoracic Society, for its 5th Annual Congress. Building on successful meetings across the region, the Congress brings together thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, oncologists, and allied specialists to shape the next phase of thoracic care in South East Asia and beyond.

Guided by the theme “Where Boundaries End, Innovation Begins – Breaking Silos Through Integration, Robotics and AI” SEATS 2026 focuses on integrated, multidisciplinary care. The programme highlights how collaboration across specialties, supported by robotics and artificial intelligence, is reshaping clinical practice and improving patient outcomes.

The scientific programme features live surgery transmissions, hands-on wet labs, cross-platform tumour board discussions, and focused sessions covering thoracic surgery, pulmonology, oncology, and regional collaborative research.

Hosted in Singapore, a leading medical hub in the region, SEATS 2026 continues a strong tradition of training, knowledge exchange, and regional partnership, connecting the thoracic community to advance standards of care across ASEAN and beyond.
