The ITC Royal Bengal in Kolkata came alive on January 17th and 18th as endocrinologists, physicians, and young medical trainees gathered for the EnDiab Summit 2026. From the moment delegates stepped into the Eastern Court Hall, there was an electric sense of purpose — old friends catching up, nervous first-time presenters flipping through their notes, and experts huddling over coffee before their sessions. The two days that followed delivered exactly what the community had hoped for: rich scientific exchange, genuine mentorship, and the kind of energy that only happens when passionate people come together.
Day 1 kicked off with the always-anticipated Santosh Rastogi Memorial Quiz, where teams battled it out on everything from rare syndromes to the latest diabetes tech — the audience loved every minute of it. Trainees took center stage with their PGT and PDT presentations, impressing senior faculty with research that was both thoughtful and clinically relevant. A special highlight was Dr. Shamasunder Acharya’s online demonstration of the IDECourse, a reminder that learning today has no boundaries. And as the day wound down, the corridors stayed busy — because at EnDiab, some of the best conversations happen after the sessions end.
Day 2 began bright and early with the Oral Presentations, where six participants showcased their research before a distinguished panel of judges. Prof. Subhankar Chowdhury and Prof. Dr. Sudip Chatterjee led the evaluation, challenging presenters with incisive questions and offering valuable feedback that will shape their work for years to come. The morning session was a testament to the depth of young talent in Indian endocrinology — each presentation sparked thoughtful discussion long after the speaker stepped off stage. As the event drew to a close, the feeling was unanimous: EnDiab 2026 wasn’t just another meeting. It was two days that reminded us why we do what we do. Same time, next year?
