Dear colleagues,

As the President of the Korean Child Neurology Society (KCNS),

it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 58th Korean Child Neurology Society Annual Symposium & 1st East Asian Pediatric Neurology Conference, which will be held on May 22-23, 2025, in the beautiful and historic city of Gyeongju, South Korea.

This year, our conference will focus on “Pediatric Neuromuscular Disorders and Neurocritical Care.”

We are honored to host distinguished pediatric neurology experts from the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan, whose participation will provide invaluable insights and foster meaningful discussions on these critical topics. Through this exchange, we aim to share the latest research, clinical experiences, and advancements that will enhance patient care and treatment approaches.

This conference is especially significant as it marks the inaugural East Asian Pediatric Neurology Conference —a major milestone in our international collaboration. With the strong partnership between Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, we take great pride in launching this new academic platform. Our vision is to expand this collaboration beyond East Asia, fostering a truly global network in pediatric neurology. Furthermore, we are deeply committed to supporting young researchers, who represent the future of our field, by providing opportunities for learning, networking, and academic growth.

I sincerely invite you to join us in this meaningful gathering of knowledge and expertise. Your participation will contribute to insightful discussions and collaborative efforts that drive progress in pediatric neurology. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Gyeongju and sharing this enriching experience together.

Jong-Hee Chae,

President, Korean Child Neurology Society (KCNS)
