Welcome Message

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are pleased to invite you to the Asia Pacific Neurocritical Care Conference (APNCC) 2026, which will be held from 3–5 July 2026 at the St. Giles Wembley Hotel in Penang, Malaysia. This event is proudly organised by the Malaysian Society of Neuroanaesthesiology and Neurocritical Care (MSNACC), in collaboration with the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) and the Pediatric Acute & Critical Care Medicine Asian Network (PACCMAN).

Building on the success of the Asia Pacific Neurocritical Care Conference (APNCC) 2024, which took place from 28–30 June 2024 and welcomed over 400 attendees from more than 21 countries, we are delighted to announce the return of this premier event in 2026. APNCC 2026 will remain the only conference in Malaysia—and possibly the region—fully dedicated to both adult and paediatric neurocritical care.

By fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration among local and international multidisciplinary professionals, the conference aims to advance the care of patients facing life-threatening neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Ultimately, our shared goal is to improve outcomes for both adult and paediatric patients in neurocritical care settings.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a rewarding and enriching experience. While you are here, we also encourage you to explore the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavours of Penang. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Penang offers a rich blend of history, culture, and architecture—from charming colonial-era buildings and centuries-old temples to bustling heritage streets. There is truly something for everyone in this remarkable destination.

We look forward to seeing you in Penang in July 2026.

Organising Chairpersons,
