Dear Colleagues,

As the ACS Turkey Chapter, it is our great honor and privilege to invite you to the ACS Turkey Chapter Meeting, which will be held on March 9-10, 2026.

As ACS Turkey Chapter, we aim to remain faithful to the tradition by providing an arena for its members to exchange professional knowledge, establish friendships and create a mutual respect and understanding within an international setting.

The theme of the 2026 Turkey Chapter meeting will be Recent Advances in Surgery and we believe this will be an ideal opportunity for the American College of Surgeons to extend its influence to our region and for professionals from all areas of the surgical specialties to share their knowledge and experiences.

With invited speakers from among the most distinguished of the ACS faculty, this meeting will also provide the opportunity for national and regional attendees to network with international leaders. Attendees will benefit from the entertaining new concepts and methods presented in the diverse environment established by the meeting.

We are pleased to inform you that Professor Patricia L. Turner, ACS Executive Director & CEO, will be joining us and we look forward to welcoming you to Ankara, Türkiye in March 2026.

Yours sincerely,
