About APLAR Congress

With growing engagement from our now 33 national member societies and associate member societies across the region, The Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology represents a league of societies that have a combined membership of more than 25,000 rheumatologists.

APLAR delivers a range of educational benefits to its members including the APLAR Academy, supporting the activities of the APLAR special interest groups, a mid year symposium, and the annual APLAR Congress.

APLAR Congress History

The evolution of the APLAR Congress logo reflects the association’s commitment to innovation and modernization. For each year, the logo receives a transformation to better represent the destination for the Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) Congress.

This evolution not only signifies APLAR’s progress but also its dedication to staying relevant in an ever-changing industry. The current logo embodies a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, symbolizing APLAR’s rich history and its vision for the future.
