Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Board of Stroke & Neurointervention Foundation (SNIF) and joint organising committee of the 7th SNIF Annual Neurointervention Conference (SNIF-ANC) and 15th Kerala Interventional Neurology Conference. (KINCON 2026). The Informal Neurointervention workshops and the KINCON program conducted periodically in Perinthalmanna over the past 19 years, has been a first of its kind program in the country. An exclusive neurovascular and stroke intervention program, conducted in various locations in Kerala over the last 1 9 years have been inspirational and more or less instrumental in sensitising neurovascular Intervention as a clinical discipline in Kerala for the last two decades. Currently Kerala has ane of the largest densities of Neurointervention professionals in India. As the pioneering neurovascular education initiative in Kerala, Stroke & Neurointervention Foundation (SNIF) in 1 9 years of its journey takes humble credits for the same.
We are happy to inform you that this year again a joint meeting of SNIFANC 2026 and KINCON 2026, will be held on 18th to 20th September 2026 at Hotel Tiara, Calicut. On 1 7th September, there will be a Neurointervention Workshop for the fellows and trainees.
KINCON provides a platform for Neurologists, Neurosurgeons & Neurointerventionists to interact and discuss the science and art of Neurointervention for the benefit of participating residents, fellows and young trainees and apply it for the management of complex stroke cerebrovascular diseases in our patient population. In the format of this meeting after plenary lectures and platform presentations on current topics of cerebrovascular diseases there will be panel discussions with sufficient time given to it to enhance critical learning.
Keeping in line with the tradition, we have arranged a scientific program where short presentations will be delivered by a few eminent faculty on the subject and an experienced and eminent panelist who will discuss the topic for practice guidelines to be communicated to the young fellows and trainees in the field of Neurointervention and Stroke Medicine.
It is our pleasure as well as honour to invite you to this meeting that promises to be a great learning experience.
We look forward to welcome you at Calicut for the joint meeting of the SNI F-ANC 2026 and Kl NCON 2026.
Thanks and best personal regards,
