Most doctors find out about a good conference two weeks after it’s happened. Someone forwards a photo from the WhatsApp group, and that’s it… You missed Udaipur, you missed the panel that actually mattered. You missed the one conversation in the hallway that would’ve changed how you run your next cycle.
India’s fertility calendar over the next six months doesn’t leave much room for that excuse. Embryology, business strategy, clinical breadth, works – spread across different events between now and March. Some are built for the lab. Some are built for clinic owners.
In this blog, Apex Hospital – best IVF centre in Sirsa – has decided to talk about them in detail!
Embryology ISAR 2026 ,Udaipur (18–20 September)
Organised by the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR), this is a dedicated embryology-focused meeting — not a general fertility conference. The programme is built specifically for embryologists, clinicians, and scientists, with sessions on gamete selection, blastocyst assessment, and where automation and AI are actually heading in the IVF lab over the next five years.
It’s happening at a working level of detail rather than broad overviews, which makes it particularly useful for lab teams looking to benchmark their protocols against current evidence.
Lab-side advances like these eventually show up in patient-facing decisions too, including options like PRP and stem cell therapy for thin endometrium, which draws directly on the kind of embryology and endometrial research discussed at meetings like this one.
Who it’s for
Embryologists and lab directors specifically, more than clinicians.
International Fertility Forum (IFF) Mumbai 2026 (12–13 December)
This one is a different animal entirely — it’s built for clinic owners, CEOs, medical directors, and investors, not clinical teams. Chaired by Vinesh Gadhia, IFF Mumbai focuses on the business side of fertility care: clinic growth, investment, AI and technology adoption, patient experience, and operational strategy, with an international faculty and a dedicated exhibition floor for suppliers and international clinics looking to partner in India.
Who it’s for
Clinic leadership and anyone thinking about the business, not just clinical, side of fertility care.
Fertivision 2026: IFS 22nd Annual National Conference (18–20 December 2026)
Fertivision is the Indian Fertility Society’s flagship national conference, and it remains one of the most comprehensive clinical meetings on the Indian fertility calendar – orations, keynote sessions, and hands-on workshops spanning the full spectrum of reproductive medicine, from ART protocols to fertility preservation to psychosocial care in ART. With 5,200+ members across 29 state chapters, IFS pulls a genuinely national audience rather than a regional one.
ART protocol sessions at conferences like this are also where discussions on topics like hyperovarian stimulation get refined — directly shaping how stimulation is managed for patients back in the clinic.
Who it’s for
Practising gynaecologists and fertility specialists wanting broad clinical coverage in one meeting.
AICOG Surat 2027: 69th All India Congress of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (January/February 2027)
AICOG is FOGSI’s marquee annual congress and, by scale, the largest O&G gathering in India — FOGSI represents over 47,000 individual members across 293 member societies. It’s not infertility-specific, but reproductive medicine is always a major track, alongside obstetrics, gynaecologic oncology, and general women’s health. Registration closes 20 December 2026, so it’s worth planning around well ahead of the actual dates.
Reproductive medicine tracks at AICOG regularly cover conditions like endometriosis, where diagnostic and treatment approaches are still evolving fast enough that this kind of annual check-in genuinely matters.
Who is it for
OB-GYNs broadly, with strong relevance for anyone whose practice spans both general gynaecology and fertility care.
39th AICC RCOG International Conference, Mumbai (23–25 October 2026)
Organised by the Mumbai Obstetric & Gynecological Society (MOGS) in collaboration with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), this international conference brings RCOG’s global standards directly into an Indian setting rather than asking delegates to travel for them.
Held at JW Marriott, Sahar, with Dr. Pournima Satoskar as organising co-chairperson, it spans the full breadth of obstetrics and gynaecology, with reproductive medicine and fertility as a consistent thread alongside maternal health and gynaecologic surgery.
What makes it worth flagging separately from India’s usual national congresses is the RCOG affiliation itself. It’s one of the few recurring India-based meetings where UK academic standards and Indian clinical practice sit on the same programme, useful for anyone benchmarking their own protocols against international guidance without leaving the country.
Since fertility and reproductive medicine is one of the conference’s running threads, this podcast fits right alongside it. Dr Manisha Mehta breaks down the lesser-talked-about realities of IVF pregnancies in a candid, easy conversational format. Worth a watch if you want the patient-facing side of a topic the conference will be covering from the clinical end.
ENDOGYN 2027: IAGE National Conference (19–21 March)
The Indian Association of Gynaecological Endoscopists (IAGE) holds its flagship national conference annually under the ENDOGYN banner. 2026’s edition ran in Kolkata under the theme “Beyond Vision: The Future of MIGS.? The 2027 edition is confirmed for 19–21 March, per IAGE’s own events calendar. Though the host city hadn’t been announced at time of writing.
ENDOGYN’s format leans heavily hands-on – live surgeries, workshops on operative hysteroscopy, endometriosis, fibroid management, and hysterectomy technique. Built specifically for gynaecologists actively performing endoscopic surgery, not just observing it.
With IAGE representing over 10,000 endoscopic surgeons nationally, this is the meeting most focused on surgical skill-building itself, rather than broader clinical or business content, making it the natural pick for anyone advancing specifically toward complex laparoscopic or hysteroscopic cases.
Why This Matters for You, Not Just Your Doctor
Conferences like these aren’t just CME credits for the doctors who attend them — they’re where changes like the recent PCOS-to-PMOS rename get debated by the clinicians who’ll actually apply them, and where the gap between “what’s published internationally” and “what’s practised locally” narrows the fastest.
At Apex Hospital, staying connected to this circuit isn’t a formality. It’s part of how Dr. Manisha Mehta and Dr. R.K. Mehta makes sure the care you receive reflects where the field actually is today — not where it was a few conferences ago.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the biggest IVF-specific conference in India in this period?
Fertivision 2026 (18–20 December 2026), the Indian Fertility Society’s flagship national conference, offers the broadest clinical coverage of any single meeting in this window.
Is AICOG 2027 relevant if I only practice fertility medicine, not general OB-GYN?
Yes — reproductive medicine is consistently one of AICOG’s major tracks, even though the congress covers obstetrics and gynaecology broadly.
Which of these events is best for embryologists specifically?
Embryology ISAR 2026 in Udaipur (18–20 September 2026) is built specifically around lab-level embryology content, more so than any other event on this list.
Is the International Fertility Forum Mumbai relevant for practising clinicians?
It’s primarily aimed at clinic owners, medical directors, and investors focused on the business side of fertility care — clinically-focused practitioners may find Fertivision or AICOG more directly relevant.
When does registration close for AICOG 2027?
Online and offline registration closes 20 December 2026, well before the actual January/February 2027 conference dates.
Does it actually matter to me which conferences my doctor attends?
Yes, more than most patients realise. Guidelines shift and doctors actively attending these conferences are the ones applying updated evidence in real time, rather than catching up on it months later.
Where This Leaves You
Between September 2026 and March 2027, India’s fertility and reproductive medicine community has several major reasons to gather — each with a different focus, from lab science to surgical skill-building to international clinical standards. Whichever one a doctor attends, staying plugged into this calendar is part of staying current in a field that’s changing fast.
For couples weighing where to even start, our breakdown of IVF cost in Sirsa is a practical companion to this piece — the clinical side and the cost side of the decision, covered separately.
