Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 9th Seoul International Congress of Endocrinology and Metabolism in conjunction with the 40th Annual Scientific Meeting of Korean Endocrine Society (SICEM 2021), to be held 28-30 October 2021, in both Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center (BPEX), Busan and Online as a hybrid congress. The SICEM provides a platform for the education of endocrinologists, trainees, medical students, and members of treatment teams from across the globe. The hallmarks of the meeting are a broad range of outstanding hands-on learning opportunities and discussion on the most recent developments in research, along with unparalleled access to peers, mentors, and expertise from all parts of the world, which is a must-attend endocrine conference in Asia.

The Program Committee, in cooperation with our Integrated Research Groups (Bone, Thyroid, Diabetes, Adrenal Gland, Obesity, Pituitary, and every part), is planning an outstanding and stimulating Scientific Program. The Congress will address training needs and equip teams with the skills required to achieve the best outcomes in our ever-changing environment.

An exciting series of named lectures will be delivered by world-renowned experts in their respective fields. The program will focus on the acquisition of knowledge and skills through best practices in education and training methods. More than 70 sessions on topics will be offered. The scientific program will include research oral presentations and posters.

Even if the worldwide Pandemic makes it difficult to attend a conference in person, we firmly believe that our passion for research can overcome these limitations. We look forward to meeting you at the conference both online and offline.

Yours sincerely,
