The Asian & Oceanian Epilepsy Congress 2026 will take place in Kuala Lumpur from 19 to 22 November 2026, bringing together clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals and advocates with an interest in epilepsy care across the two regions. The biennial-style gathering is hosted at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, in the heart of the city’s main commercial and convention district.
What can attendees expect?
The congress is built around the science and practice of epilepsy care, with a programme that typically spans plenary lectures, symposia, teaching sessions and abstract presentations. Delegates can expect updates on clinical research, treatment approaches and the wider delivery of epilepsy services, alongside opportunities to exchange ideas with peers from across Asia and Oceania. As with comparable international medical congresses, the full programme, registration categories and accreditation details are set by the organisers, so prospective attendees should check the official congress website for confirmed information before making plans.
Where is it held and how do I get there?
The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre sits within the KLCC precinct, close to the Petronas Twin Towers and Suria KLCC shopping mall. The area is well served by public transport: the KLCC LRT station on the Kelana Jaya line is a short walk from the venue, while the MRT Putrajaya line’s Persiaran KLCC station also puts attendees within easy reach. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available, and the venue is connected to nearby areas by covered walkways and air-conditioned passages, which is useful during the November monsoon season.
What should first-time visitors to KL know?
November falls within Malaysia’s northeast monsoon period, so short, heavy afternoon downpours are common; an umbrella and light rain jacket are worth packing. Kuala Lumpur is generally warm and humid year-round, so light clothing suits both the climate and the congress venue’s air conditioning. The city’s international airport is linked to the centre by express rail and road, and the ringgit is the local currency, with cards widely accepted. Attendees travelling from abroad should confirm visa and entry requirements with Malaysian authorities well ahead of the event.
