Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 16th Asia Pacific Society of Periodontology (APSP) Conference, scheduled for November 5-6, 2026, in the historic city of Kyoto, Japan. This year, our theme is "Beyond Boundaries: Shaping a Sustainable Future for Asia-Pacific Periodontology," which reflects our commitment to advancing periodontal science and practice across our diverse region.
The organizing committee is currently developing an inspiring program that will feature invited lectures, keynote presentations, and country representative talks, alongside general sessions for poster presentations. These sessions are being designed to provide a platform for sharing innovative research, clinical practices, and insights into the challenges we face in periodontal health.
In preparation for this event, we will be collaborating closely with experts from various countries, ensuring a rich exchange of knowledge and fostering partnerships that will shape the future of periodontology in the Asia-Pacific region.
We warmly invite you to join us in Kyoto for this unique opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, engage in stimulating discussions, and contribute to the advancement of our field. Together, we can explore new horizons and develop sustainable strategies for periodontal health.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kyoto for an inspiring and productive conference.
