Esteemed Colleagues,

From April 11^th to the 13^th, 2024, the Korean Endocrine Society (KES) will explore new frontiers in the realms of endocrinology and metabolism through the orchestration of SICEM 2024, the 12^th Seoul International Congress of Endocrinology and Metabolism, in conjunction with the 43^rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the KES. This prestigious congress will take place at Grand Walkerhill Seoul in Korea and is graciously hosted by KES members.

Our dedicated Scientific Organizing Committee has meticulously curated a comprehensive three-day program with the aim of illuminating current challenges and remarkable progress in the field of endocrinology and metabolism under the theme of ‘One Endo.’

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of four distinguished joint symposiums in our program. ESROC-KES will explore the intricate nuances of thyroid diseases, JES-KES will showcase young endocrinologists, AFES-KES will explore diabetes from an Asian perspective, and ENDO-ESE-KES will provide valuable insights into pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.

SICEM 2024 is committed to delivering the utmost care to people with a wide spectrum of complex endocrine conditions. We warmly invite you to join us in discovering the latest updates across the fundamental pillars of endocrinology. Peter Tontonoz (University of California, Los Angeles, USA) will focus on cholesterol transport, Matthias H. Tschöp (Helmholtz Munich, Germany) will delve multi-receptor drugs for obesity, Susan Mandel (University of Pennsylvania, USA) will specialize in thyroid and pregnancy, and Natalie Sims (University of Melbourne, Australia) will share insights on osteocytes and bone structure.

Beyond its remarkable scientific program, SICEM 2024 offers a unique opportunity to forge new connections and strengthen existing collaborations. Immerse yourself in a dynamic networking environment where you can engage with esteemed colleagues from around the world. Together, we will foster a vibrant community of endocrinology professionals dedicated to advancing patient care and pushing the frontiers of scientific discovery.

Mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired! SICEM 2024 promises to be an exceptional educational experience, inimitably crafted to reignite your passion for endocrinology and metabolism. We are eagerly anticipating your participation and warmly welcoming you to the beautiful city of Seoul. Let’s unite and seize this extraordinary opportunity to shape the future of your field.
