Dear ISAPS Community & #ISAPSFamily,

Here we are already in May, and excitement is building for this year's ISAPS Olympiad World Congress in Singapore! Scheduled for June 18-21, 2025, at the prestigious Sands Expo & Convention Centre, it promises to be another memorable ISAPS meeting. With only six weeks to go, it's essential to secure your hotel reservation if you haven't done so already.

I am especially excited about hosting our meeting in Singapore! I have such fond memories of the meetings I attended over the past year in Asia, which is simply spectacular! This congress will not only provide a rich educational experience but also serve as a vibrant social and international gathering of esteemed world leaders and experts. Singapore, a city celebrated for its diverse culture, exceptional cuisine, and stunning urban and natural landscapes, is the perfect backdrop for this remarkable event. With just a month and a half left, everything is in place for us to come together to teach, learn, and celebrate as one united #ISAPSFamily. Don't miss this opportunity to connect and grow with your peers!

We have an exceptional and carefully curated scientific program this year, featuring 50 of our top keynote faculty members—chosen by you! Additionally, we have an integrated stream focusing on Asian aesthetics in collaboration with OASPS and WAPSCD, along with over 600 speakers from around the globe that will update you on the latest research developments in our field. 

The competitive aspects of our Olympiad add an extra layer of excitement, so be sure to attend our Awards Ceremony on June 21, where "Best Presentation" medals will be awarded in all subject categories. Don't forget to vote for your favorite presentations using our Congress App!

I want to express my endless gratitude to everyone involved in the many ISAPS academic events. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity and privilege of attending many of them this past year. These gatherings bring us together to not only advance our specialty but also remind us of the importance of #ISAPSFamily. We are a society of leaders who inspire one another to stay knowledgeable, share experiences—both in and out of our practices—and share a vision for continuing education and training. It is why we plan our Congresses and Olympiads with such attention to detail, from selecting the right sessions, inviting esteemed faculty, curating a defined program, and creating amazing social networking events. All of this is what makes us "ISAPS." And for all of this, I am thankful. I am thankful for you, our society, and the endless opportunities.

Warmest regards,

Arturo Ramírez-Montañana, MD
ISAPS President
