Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to welcome you to HBP Surgery Week 2024 & the 60th Annual Congress of the Korean Association of HBP Surgery (HBP Surgery Week 2024) held from March 20 (Wed) to 23 (Sat), 2024 in Seoul, Korea.

The Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (KAHBPS) launched HBP Surgery Week in 2017 with the vision of creating a special forum for sharing valuable research and opinions among professionals from around the globe.

For this year’s edition, under the theme “Passion 2024! Deep Dive into HBP Surgery,” the Organizing Committee has designed diverse academic programs to facilitate the exchange of the latest developments and research findings to allow for in-depth discussions. To achieve this purpose, HBP Surgery Week 2024 features a wide range of sessions including the President’s Lecture, Senior Professor’s Lecture, and Invited Lectures as well as pre-congress symposiums, debate sessions, and Meet the Professor sessions. We are delighted that a large number of world-renowned speakers and delegates have accepted to join us to share their insights and achievements.

Seoul, the host city, is renowned for its hospitality, rich heritage, and perfect blend of innovation and tradition. We encourage you to take this opportunity to experience the beauty of the early spring season and immerse yourself in Korean culture during your stay.

We wish you a most fruitful and enriching experience at HBP Surgery Week 2024.
Sincerely yours,

Hwon Kyum Park
