Dear Colleague,

It is time to share our plans for FetalMed 2026, our Annual International Congress of the Society of Fetal Medicine, and invite you well in advance, so that you can block your dates and manage your professional and personal schedules accordingly.

The theme this year is “From Six to Sixteen Weeks” and the entire congress is designed to provide a focused and clinically relevant exploration of early pregnancy which is becoming an increasingly critical window for screening, diagnosis, risk stratification and intervention.

The scientific program will bring together leading national and international experts to discuss advances in first-trimester and early second-trimester ultrasound, early fetal anatomy assessment, screening strategies, and evidence-based management approaches.

The conference will feature:

• Expert-led plenary sessions and keynote lectures
• Case-based discussions and practical insights
• Updates on early anomaly detection and screening protocols
• SFM Guidelines for scans at 5-10 weeks, 11-14 weeks, 14-17 weeks, preeclampsia screening and twin pregnancies
• Live scan demonstrations
• Interactive sessions aimed at improving day-to-day clinical decision-making
• Multiple free paper sessions for presenting research and interesting cases

This will be an excellent opportunity to enhance your clinical acumen, acquire imaging skills, stay up to date with evolving standards in fetal medicine and engage with colleagues from all over the world.

As always, we will have a great opportunity to interact with trade partners, evolve patient friendly payment packages, work out best value deals with our ultrasound partners and choose and purchase reference textbooks.

And, of course, the stimulating and luxurious ambience of our usual venue, The Leela Ambience Hotel & Residences, Gurugram, Delhi NCR.

The dates are 21, 22 and 23 August, 2026

Come. Learn. Evolve. Enjoy.

Best wishes,
Sunil Mehta, Meenu Batra, Ashok Khurana
