The central idea
Intelligence in motion
Artificial intelligence earns its place in anesthesia only when it completes a chain that begins and ends with the clinician. This conference follows that chain, link by link.
Human expertise
The anesthesiologist remains the decision-maker. Everything begins and ends with clinical judgment.
Data
Vitals, waveforms, records and registries — the perioperative signal, captured continuously.
Intelligence
Analytics and models that find the pattern in the signal before it becomes an event.
Decision
Evidence surfaced at the moment it is needed, as support rather than substitution.
Patient safety
The only outcome that measures whether any of it worked.
From AI-powered insights to safety redefined

AI offers valuable opportunities to enhance patient safety, support clinical decision-making, and improve perioperative care.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I extend our sincere appreciation for your presence and participation in this important scientific gathering.
This year’s theme, “Anesthesia Practice and Artificial Intelligence – Updates,” highlights the growing impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare and anesthesia practice.
AI offers valuable opportunities to enhance patient safety, support clinical decision-making, and improve perioperative care. As anesthesiologists, it is essential that we embrace these advancements responsibly while preserving the clinical expertise, judgment, and compassion at the core of our profession.
This conference serves as a platform to share knowledge, discuss recent developments, and strengthen collaboration among professionals in the field. I extend my sincere thanks to our speakers, organizers, and sponsors for their contributions, and I wish you all a productive and enriching conference.

Scientific program
Three days, one clinical question
How does artificial intelligence make anesthesia safer without displacing the anesthesiologist? The program runs from AI ethics and implementation through transplant, pediatric, thoracic and vascular anesthesia, transitional pain, accountable care and clinician wellbeing — and closes with live debates.
