Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the KATRD International Conference 2020 to be held in Seoul, Korea from November 12-13, 2020. KATRD has developed into an international academic conference thanks to your efforts and support. Last year, the conference attracted 1,067 participants from 20 countries.

This year, internationally renowned speakers will be in attendance to discuss the latest trends with plenary sessions and symposiums which will cover all areas of our rapidly changing medical environment. Throughout these programs, we will offer exciting opportunities to gain insights and new ideas as you are connected to globally well-known speakers and enthusiastic fellow scholars. We hope this conference will allow us to build an international network and promote collaboration.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who has contributed to the conference, accepted to lecture, and helped us build this very exciting conference program. The program committee will make every effort to make sure that your participation will be rewarding and a pleasurable experience.

During your stay, we encourage you to enjoy the fascinating city of Seoul, which embraces ancient culture with modern developments in a surprisingly harmonious manner. I hope you feel the beauty of autumn in Seoul through your visit to KATRDIC 2020.
