Dear HPB Colleagues,​
​
Warmest greetings from Bengaluru, India.
​
It gives us immense pride and privilege to welcome you on behalf of the organizing committee to the 9th Biennial congress of the A-PHPBA (Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association) 2023.
​
This mega conference will be held in our beautiful city of Bengaluru at Hilton Hotel from 27th to 30th September 2023. It is a unique occasion that brings the experts and leaders in HPB surgery and Liver transplant together to participate, discuss, share and enrich knowledge through workshops, orations, debates, panel discussions on recent technological advances, and face-to-face meetings with the legends in HPB surgery.
Bengaluru, also known as the 'City of Gardens, is one of the most attractive cities in India with its beautiful parks, avenues, and impressive buildings and is a fusion of ancient and modern times. With it's booming economy and racy lifestyle, the capital of Karnataka has metamorphosed from a sleepy Garden City into one of India's fastest-growing, accommodating, and cosmopolitan cities. Bengaluru is a city of contrasts, going by several other aliases: India's Silicon Valley, Pub City, Shopper's Paradise, Garden City, Air-conditioned City, Gourmet's Delight, Pub Hopper's Paradise, Pensioners Paradise, IT and BT City, and Shopper's Hot Spot. Surrounded by weekend getaways, Bengaluru makes an ideal hub for visitors who want to travel to the many hill stations and coastal towns of South India.
We look forward to meeting you at the forthcoming A-PHPBA 2023 conference in Bengaluru.
