Dear Esteemed Colleagues
On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is with great pleasure I invite you to attend the upcoming 36th Congress of IAP-AD which will be held on October 22-25, 2025, in Alexandria, Egypt. The Congress will offer a unique opportunity to explore the latest advancements, technologies, and evolving best practices that shape the future of Pathology. We have curated a programme that delves into critical areas such as Molecular Pathology, Digital Pathology, Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostics, and Oncology. I am honoured to welcome the distinguished panel of prominent Speakers who are leader experts in their respective fields. Their insights and expertise will undoubtedly enrich the conference. The conference will also feature hands-on workshops on Cytology and Gynaecology. Also will be sessions for young pathologists to present their oral abstracts. Moreover, there will be a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among pathologists, clinicians, and researchers. We are confident that you will find the conference informative, engaging, and entertaining too. Our surprise Keynote Speaker will be the famous Egyptologist Zahi Hawas. We look forward to welcoming you to the 36th Congress of IAP-AD!

About the Weather
October is one of the best times to visit Alexandria, as the weather is mild and pleasant. Temperatures typically range between 20°C and 28°C (68°F – 82°F), with warm days and cooler evenings. The city enjoys plenty of sunshine, with occasional sea breezes adding to the comfortable atmosphere. Rain is rare but possible towards the end of the month, so a light jacket or sweater may be useful for the evenings. Overall, the climate is perfect for exploring the city’s coastal charm and historical sites.
