WELCOME TO WFITN 2026

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 18th Congress of the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology (WFITN), to be held in Busan, Korea, in 2026.

Busan, a coastal city where tradition and innovation meet, offers an inspiring setting for this important gathering. With its scenic coastline, vibrant culture, and advanced infrastructure, Busan is emerging as a key hub for academic exchange in Asia.

Korea—and Busan in particular—is becoming a center for international collaboration in neurointervention. WFITN 2026 will offer a meaningful opportunity for East and West to come together, exchange ideas, and build lasting connections.

The scientific program will reflect both the challenges and future directions of our field, with sessions ranging from lectures and case discussions to hands-on workshops.

We look forward to welcoming you to Busan in 2026, and to a time we hope will stay with you long after it ends.

Warm regards,
Yong-Sam Shin
