Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the International Colorectal Research Summit (iCRS) 2026, which will be held from September 4 (Fri) to 6 (Sun), 2026, at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul, Korea.

Hosted by the Korean Society of Coloproctology (KSCP), iCRS has become an important international platform for surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to advancing the field of colorectal disease. Since its establishment in 1967, KSCP has continuously promoted academic excellence, innovation, and international collaboration.

The theme of iCRS 2026, “Advancing Together: Innovation, Education & Global Perspectives,” reflects our shared commitment to improving colorectal care through scientific advancement and global cooperation. This year’s summit will feature a diverse scientific program, including expert lectures, video sessions, panel discussions, and presentations of the latest research and emerging technologies.

More importantly, iCRS provides an opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world, exchange ideas, and build meaningful collaborations that extend beyond the meeting itself.

We look forward to welcoming you to Seoul and sharing an inspiring and memorable iCRS 2026 together.

Sincerely,
