Welcome Remarks

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to SPIDS Week 2026 — Season 6 in the enchanting city of Abha, where breathtaking landscapes inspire creativity and the future is shaped by innovation. Guided by this year's theme, SPIDS Caravan — Every Clue Matters, this conference continues our journey of scientific discovery and collaboration.

As Saudi Arabia celebrates 2026 — The Year of AI, this year's conference brings together distinguished experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals to explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in pediatric infectious diseases and antimicrobial stewardship. Together, we will exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and advance scientific excellence through meaningful discussions and groundbreaking innovations.

Throughout the conference, you will experience keynote lectures, interactive scientific sessions, expert panel discussions, research presentations, hands-on workshops, and valuable networking opportunities — all designed to encourage learning, collaboration, and innovation.

May your stay in Abha be as inspiring as its mist-covered mountains, and may the connections you build here continue to shape the future of healthcare long after the conference concludes.

We look forward to welcoming you to SPIDS Week 2026, where together we embrace innovation, advance science, and shape the future.
