Welcome Message
Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Partners,
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I extend a warm invitation to you to attend the
1st UAE & GCC Radiation Oncology Annual Conference 2025.
Taking place on September 27th, 2025, at the prestigious InterContinental Hotel DFC, UAE, this inaugural conference introduces a bold and dynamic format centered entirely around expert-led debates.
Set in the heart of Dubai, this distinctive gathering will bring together leading radiation oncologists, forward-thinking clinicians, pioneering researchers, and key decision-makers from across the UAE and GCC. Unlike traditional conferences, this edition is designed to challenge perspectives, spark critical discussions, and explore the most pressing controversies and advancements in radiation oncology.
Through a series of high-level, evidence-based debates, renowned experts will present and defend differing viewpoints on key clinical practices, emerging technologies, and evolving treatment paradigms. This interactive format aims to foster deeper understanding, encourage active engagement, and drive forward-thinking solutions that directly impact patient care.
Your presence will play a vital role in enriching these discussions and contributing to a transformative and thought-provoking experience.
Beyond the debates, the conference offers a unique platform for meaningful exchange, collaboration, and networking among peers and leaders shaping the future of radiation oncology in the region.
I look forward to welcoming you to a truly engaging and impactful conference in Dubai.
With my warmest regards,
Prof. Humaid Al Shamsi
