About APLAR

ASIA PACIFIC LEAGUE OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR RHEUMATOLOGY

The Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR), was established in 1963 in Sydney. What began with four founding nations has now increased in scale to include 32 national rheumatology association members. The geographical region covered by APLAR reaches from New Zealand in Oceania to Jordan in the Middle East. The APLAR network of national associations represents 25,000+ rheumatologists.

Welcome

The APLAR Executive Committee and Thai Rheumatism Association welcomes you to join us at the 25th Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology Congress in Chiang Mai.

The congress will be held from 7 – 11 December 2023 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and with your support it will be a celebration of not just the fantastic hospitality and welcoming nature of our Thai colleagues, but also a return to a face-to-face only congress format.

We hope that this congress marks both a unique and personal experience for attendees, as well as another milestone in APLAR’s efforts to bridge communication and culture barriers for rheumatologists, physicians, nurses, researchers and allied health professionals working to understand and fight rheumatic diseases across the breadth of the Asia-Pacific region.

... another milestone in APLAR’s efforts to bridge communication and culture barriers for rheumatologists, physicians, nurses, researchers and allied health professionals working to understand and fight rheumatic diseases across the breadth of the Asia-Pacific region.

The congress will draw on international, regional and Thai speakers to provide world-class research, scientific and medical content for our attendees. The APLAR 2023 Congress theme of “Together Towards Tomorrow” will be reflected through the scientific program in a series of plenary presentations, concurrent sessions, Pre-congress workshops and poster presentations.

As the numbers of rheumatologists in the APAC region grow beyond 25,000, the APLAR congress continues to offer a unique and growing platform for connection and continued learning from our regional peers.

We look forward to welcoming you to Thailand in December 2023.
