On behalf of the Thai Perioperative Nurses Association and the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 8th ASIORNA conference, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand on October 23-25, 2026. It is a source of great pride for Thailand and the Thai Perioperative Nurses Association to serve as the host of this prestigious international conference.

The 8th ASIORNA conference provides a valuable platform for perioperative nurses across the Asia–Pacific region and beyond to come together to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and strengthen professional collaboration.

This year’s theme, “Stronger Together: Global Transformation and Innovation in Perioperative Nursing”, reflects our shared commitment to advancing perioperative nursing practices amid rapid changes in healthcare systems, technologies, and patient needs. This conference aims to promote evidence-based practices, patient safety, professional development, and leadership in perioperative nursing.

We are deeply honored to welcome distinguished speakers, experts, and delegates from many countries. Your presence and active participation will undoubtedly enrich discussions, contribute to meaningful learning experiences, and foster lasting professional networks and collaborations.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to ASIORNA, the organizing committees, speakers, partners, and sponsors for their support in making the 8th ASIORNA conference possible. I am also truly grateful to all delegates for your commitment to advancing perioperative nursing and for joining us at this important gathering.

I hope that during your stay, you will not only find the conference academically rewarding, but also enjoy the warm hospitality, rich culture, and vibrant atmosphere of Thailand.
