Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Partners, and Pediatric Health Professionals,
​
Warm greetings from the Pediatricians Across Continents Education Academy (PEACE)
​
It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to join us at the 8th Annual International PEACE Conference, to be held in the inspiring city of Abu Dhabi during 28/03/2026 to 29/03/2026, under the theme:
“In PEACE, We Heal.”
​
This global gathering will be hosted by Abu Dhabi Health Services (SEHA) and officially affiliated with the PEACE Academy, under the leadership and scientific guidance of the Arabian Gulf Pediatric Societies, with the invaluable support of over 46 international pediatric societies from around the world.
​
As pediatricians and child health advocates, we are united by our passion for children’s health and wellbeing. This annual conference has become a hallmark event in the pediatric calendar, fostering collaboration, innovation, and education across borders. In 2026, we look forward to building on this legacy with a rich scientific program, hands-on workshops, thought-provoking keynotes, and groundbreaking discussions in general and subspecialty pediatrics.
​
We warmly welcome all pediatricians, neonatologists, pediatric subspecialists, residents, fellows, nurses, allied health professionals, and researchers, as well as healthcare companies, pharmaceutical and nutrition industry partners who are devoted to advancing pediatric care.
​
The 8th PEACE Conference will offer an exceptional opportunity for professional networking, academic exchange, and industry collaboration. It is an ideal platform to share innovations, present research, and explore emerging pediatric challenges and solutions. It will also serve as a gateway for companies to connect with leading clinicians, decision-makers, and educators across the region and beyond.
​
We cordially invite all interested healthcare companies, pharmaceutical and nutrition partners to support and be part of this prestigious event. Your contribution will not only highlight your commitment to child health, but also ensure your visibility among top pediatric professionals in the Middle East and internationally.
​
And where better to host this grand event than Abu Dhabi — a city that blends tradition with innovation, offering world-class infrastructure, warm hospitality, and a commitment to excellence in healthcare and education. From its iconic landmarks and serene beaches to its vibrant culture and modern skyline, Abu Dhabi promises a truly enriching experience for all participants.
​
Let us come together, across continents, with one shared purpose: to heal, to learn, and to elevate pediatric care — in PEACE.
We look forward to welcoming you to Abu Dhabi in March 2026.
