MICCAI 2026 in Abu Dhabi

Wednesday 4th March 2026

Dear MICCAI Community,

We are following up with a note regarding the emerging situation in Abu Dhabi. We hope all our impacted colleagues are well and safe.

The recent conflict in the Middle East region is a serious cause of concern for our upcoming MICCAI 2026 conference in Abu Dhabi this October. 

The MICCAI Society Board and MICCAI 2026 Organizing Committee are closely monitoring updates from international authorities and local partners. The safety and well-being of our attendees, presenters, exhibitors, and staff remain our highest priority.

We understand that you are all making travel plans and we appreciate your patience as we navigate this situation thoughtfully and responsibly. We will communicate promptly as soon as we know more about the unfolding situation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Marius George Linguraru, President, MICCAI Society
Mohammad Yaqub, General Co-Chair, MICCAI 2026
