Dear Colleague,

The Organizing Committee of the 18th Annual Conference of the Association of Obstetric Anaesthesiologists (AOA) takes immense pleasure in inviting you to join us in the vibrant city of Bhubaneswar from 31st October to 2nd November 2025 at AIIMS Bhubaneswar.

We are excited to announce special focus tracks and hands-on workshops designed to benefit Postgraduates, Residents, and Practitioners, ensuring practical exposure and skill enhancement in critical areas:
1. Obstetric Emergencies and Resuscitation
2. Obstetric Regional Anaesthesia (RA) and Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
3. Labor Analgesia

In addition, recognizing the vital role of Nurses and Allied Health Personnel, who form the backbone and critical supporters of our practices, we are delighted to organize a dedicated Essential Obstetric Emergencies and Critical Care Workshop. This workshop aims to empower healthcare support staff with practical knowledge and skills, ensuring better outcomes for both providers and patients.

While in Bhubaneswar, the temple city of India, you will have the chance to explore Odisha’s best-kept secrets—its stunning architecture, serene beaches, and rich cultural heritage. Visit the majestic Konark Sun Temple, the sacred Jagannath Temple, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dhauli. Odisha’s vibrant handicrafts, including the intricate appliqué work of Pipili and exquisite silver filigree jewellery, are perfect mementos of your visit.

Indulge in the local delicacies, from the flavorsome Pakhala Bhata to the sweet and savory Chhena Poda, and immerse yourself in the warmth of Odisha’s hospitality.

Mark your calendars, and we look forward to welcoming you to an academically enriching and culturally delightful experience in Bhubaneswar.

Warm regards,
Organizing Committee
AOACON 2025, Bhubaneswar
