Dear Colleagues, Friends and Members of the SIOP Community,
It is my great pleasure on behalf of the Local Organising Committee to welcome you to Sydney, Australia, the host city for the 59th Annual Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP 2027). We are honoured to bring together clinicians, researchers, nurses and advocates from around the world who share a common goal to improving the lives of children and adolescents with cancer.
Our organising committee is committed to delivering a world-class congress featuring a high-quality scientific programme that showcases the latest advances in paediatric oncology. Through thought-provoking presentations, global perspectives and meaningful collaboration, SIOP 2027 will foster the exchange of knowledge, ideas and innovation across our global community.
Sydney is globally renowned for its natural beauty, spectacular harbour and enviable climate. As a conference destination, it combines the ease of connecting with global peers in an accessible and inspiring city, offering world-class venues, vibrant culture, exceptional dining and unforgettable experiences beyond the Congress. We encourage you to extend your stay and explore not only Sydney but also the remarkable destinations across our beautiful country. From stunning natural landscapes and unique wildlife to world-renowned experiences, there is much to discover in Australia.
We look forward to sharing our city and warm Australian hospitality with you. Above all, we hope SIOP 2027 sparks new ideas, strengthens collaborations and supports the partnerships that will shape the future of paediatric oncology.
We are excited to welcome you to Sydney, Australia in 2027!
Kind regards,
Dr Richard Mitchell
