Namaste and warm greetings.

A heartfelt welcome to all who are reading this message.

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to the AORA Global Summit 2027, a global gathering of clinicians, educators, researchers, innovators, and leaders united by a shared passion for regional anesthesia and perioperative medicine.

More than a conference, AORA Global Summit is a celebration of learning, collaboration, friendship, and excellence. It is a platform where ideas are exchanged, innovations are shared, lifelong connections are forged, and the future of our specialty is shaped.

The Summit opens on 10 June 2027 with the flagship AORA Global Masterclass Day, featuring expert-led masterclasses organized into focused learning pathways. Delegates may pursue individual masterclasses or complete recommended pathways leading to the award of prestigious AORA Scholar Certificates, recognizing commitment to structured and advanced learning.

The scientific program on 11 and 12 June 2027 will showcase distinguished orations, keynote lectures, expert symposiums, panel discussions, scientific presentations, debates, and interactive sessions led by some of the most respected voices in regional anesthesia and perioperative care. Together, we will explore contemporary practice, emerging technologies, research advances, patient safety, education, and the future direction of our specialty.

A unique highlight of the Summit is the AORA Morbidity & Mortality Grand Trial, an innovative courtroom-style educational experience that examines a real-world clinical complication through expert testimony, audience participation, and evidence-based discussion. This immersive session aims to deepen our understanding of clinical judgment, communication, professionalism, patient safety, and accountability.

The Summit concludes on 13 June 2027 with the AORA Signature Workshop Series, offering intensive hands-on learning opportunities guided by internationally renowned faculty. These workshops are designed to translate knowledge into practice through direct interaction, mentorship, and skill development.

Whether you are a trainee beginning your journey, an experienced clinician seeking to refine your practice, a researcher advancing the science, or an educator inspiring the next generation, we hope AORA Global Summit 2027 will provide an enriching and memorable experience.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, faculty, partners, and volunteers, I thank you for joining us on this exciting journey.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mumbai for four extraordinary days of learning, innovation, collaboration, and friendship.

Together, let us learn, inspire, innovate, and shape the future of regional anesthesia.

In friendship!
