KOREAN
EPILEPSY
CONGRESS

Dear esteemed colleagues and friends,

It is my great honor to welcome you to the 31st Korean Epilepsy Congress (KEC 2026), hosted by the Korean Epilepsy Society (KES) on June 19–20, 2026 at the Seoul Dragon City Hotel. This year’s theme, “New Wave Epilepsy: Empower, Innovate, Collaborate,” reflects our commitment to advancing epilepsy care through bold ideas and interdisciplinary partnership.

Since its inception, KEC has evolved into a leading international meeting connecting clinicians, scientists, surgeons, and community experts from around the world. KEC 2026 will continue this tradition by offering a rich scientific program featuring emerging technologies, innovative treatment strategies, and evolving models of comprehensive epilepsy care. Through symposia, lectures, and interactive discussions, we aim to spark meaningful insights and encourage collaboration across diverse fields within epilepsy medicine.

In addition, this year’s meeting places special emphasis on strengthening global networks and encouraging dialogue that bridges clinical practice and research. By sharing experiences across healthcare systems and exploring collaborative initiatives, we hope to identify practical solutions to ongoing challenges and accelerate progress for those living with epilepsy.

I encourage all participants to actively engage in the sessions, exchange perspectives, and build professional connections that will help shape the next wave of innovation in epilepsy research and patient care. I sincerely hope your time at KEC 2026 proves inspiring, productive, and rewarding.

Thank you for joining us in Seoul, and I look forward to welcoming each of you.

Sincerely,
