The field of diabetes and endocrinology is one of constant evolution, demanding continuous learning and collaboration. It is with great pride that we announce the EnDiab Summit 2026, a premier medical conference set to take place in the heart of Kolkata. Under the leadership of Dr. Soumyabrata Roy Chaudhuri, this two-day summit is more than just a meeting—it is a confluence of knowledge, innovation, and shared purpose. Designed for the entire healthcare ecosystem, from seasoned specialists and dedicated trainees to informed patients and industry partners, the summit aims to address contemporary challenges, showcase groundbreaking work, and foster a community dedicated to advancing patient care. Approved for 7 CME hours, this event at the prestigious ITC Royal Bengal is poised to be a landmark gathering in the medical calendar.
A detailed look at the summit agenda
The summit is meticulously structured to maximise learning, participation, and networking across two action-packed days.
Day 1: Saturday, 17th January 2026
The first day blends academic rigor with commemorative celebration. It will open with a series of Poster Presentations and the highly anticipated Santosh Rastogi Memorial Quiz, honoring a revered figure in the field and engaging postgraduate trainees (PGTs & PDTs) in friendly yet competitive scholarship.
The afternoon features a key interactive session: an Online Demonstration on the IDECourse platform, led by Dr. Shamasunder Acharya from 4:15 PM to 4:45 PM. This practical demonstration will offer hands-on insights into digital learning tools for endocrinology education.
The evening transforms into a moment of reflection and camaraderie with the Charles Best Memorial Day Celebration, honoring a pioneer in diabetes research. This will be followed by a Networking Dinner, gracefully hosted by our Masters of Ceremony, Dr. Ajay Biswas and Dr. Soumyabrata Roy Chaudhuri, providing a perfect setting for delegates to connect informally.
Day 2: Sunday, 18th January 2026
The second day begins with a focus on emerging research and talent. From 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM, six selected participants will deliver Oral Presentations, judged by a panel of distinguished experts: Prof. Subhankar Chowdhury and Dr. Sudip Chatterjee. This session is a cornerstone of the summit, highlighting the innovative work shaping the future of the specialty.
The remainder of the day will be dedicated to in-depth scientific sessions focusing on the summit’s core themes: advanced diabetes management, the diagnosis of common endocrine disorders, and critical strategies for the effective transfer of care between healthcare settings and professionals.
