On behalf of the Gulf Association of Endocrinology & Diabetes (GAED) Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the GAED Congress 2026.

Following the remarkable success of last year’s conference, this year marks the 6th edition of the GAED Congress, fully organized under the Gulf Association of Endocrinology & Diabetes (GAED), the officially recognized regional body representing leaders in endocrinology and diabetes, previously active under the name AACE Gulf Chapter.

It is our privilege to continue our collaboration with your esteemed companies to advance scientific knowledge and updates across the Gulf region. The congress will feature an exceptional lineup of regional and international experts in endocrinology and diabetes, delivering the latest insights and innovations in the field.

The GAED Congress 2026 aims to bring together thousands of adult and pediatric endocrinologists, internists, pediatricians, family medicine physicians, cardiologists, and other specialists with an interest in diabetes and endocrinology. Participants can expect a comprehensive program, including plenary sessions, specialized parallel sessions, and state-of-the-art lectures.

We are excited to work hand in hand with you and our regional Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to create a unique and impactful congress that delivers the latest scientific updates and fosters meaningful collaborations. This year, the congress will be held physically in Dubai in October 2026, providing an excellent opportunity for participants from across the GCC, MENA region, and globally to attend.

We look forward to your continued support and partnership in making GAED Congress 2026 a resounding success.

With warm regards,

Dr. Tarik ElHadd

GAED President
