President’s Message

Greetings from the Sunshine State of Florida and the vibrant city of Tampa!
It is with immense pleasure that we announce the 44th Annual American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly will be held at the iconic JW Marriott Tampa Water Street and Tampa Marriott Water Street, set along Tampa’s beautiful waterfront. These world-class venues will provide a dynamic and elegant setting to host scientific sessions, CME programs, product theaters, business networking events, and cultural showcases creating an enriching experience for all attendees.

Tampa is one of the most exciting and fast-growing destinations in the Southeast. Known for its thriving healthcare and life sciences community, rich cultural heritage, and diverse dining and entertainment options, Tampa is both a hub of innovation and a warm, welcoming city. Traveling to Tampa is seamless, with Tampa International Airport offering convenient connections for both national and international visitors. The waterfront setting, vibrant cultural districts, and walkable downtown make it an ideal destination for both professional gatherings and leisure activities. With its proximity to leading universities, medical institutions, and research centers, we anticipate a strong turnout of distinguished speakers and delegates from across the country and abroad.
Exhibitors and Corporate Partners will continue to be a top priority as we provide a premier platform to foster meaningful connections with attendees. Hosting the convention at these centrally located hotels ensures that exhibitors, sponsors, and delegates can easily engage with one another throughout the event. Activities strategically planned near the exhibit hall will encourage higher visibility, more frequent interactions, and a dynamic exchange of ideas. This unique setting offers an unparalleled opportunity to maximize engagement and presence.

Our dedicated organizing team is working diligently to create a memorable and impactful 2026 AAPI Annual Convention. We warmly invite you to be part of this exciting journey. For details, please visit www.aapiconvention.org or contact the AAPI office at (630) 225-9575.
