Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 19th Annual Conference of the Indian Stroke Association, which will take place in the Grant Hyatt Kochi from 13-15 March 2026. With our theme, "Stroke - Translating Research into Practice," we aim to bridge the critical gap between scientific discovery and clinical application, fostering meaningful dialogue and innovation in the field of stroke.

This year’s conference brings together leading neurologists, interventionists and researchers from around the globe. We will explore groundbreaking research, engage in multidisciplinary collaboration, and discuss real-world strategies to improve stroke care. Our diverse program includes keynote lectures, interactive workshops, debates, challenging case discussions, and a young neurologist forum that reflects the breadth and depth of Stroke medicine.

We are confident that this conference will not only augment your professional knowledge but also provide an invaluable opportunity to network, share insights, and inspire new ideas that advance our collective mission to improve stroke care and reduce the burden of stroke.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kochi in March 2026 and we promise you an exciting and enriching experience. We look forward to your active participation that will drive the future of stroke care and research.
