Initiated in 2014, CONFLUENCE 2026, organised by Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, is a prestigious international medical and research conference. Spanning five days - pre-conference on 9 & 10 December and the main conference from 11 to 13 December 2026 - it brings together students, residents and experts for academic exchange, innovation and exploration.
The conference offers hands-on workshops in clinical skills and research methodologies, alongside competitions celebrating students' research and innovative ideas, with online screening rounds and a grand finale on the campus. Renowned experts lead talks and panel discussions, while CME programmes (applied for 4 MMC credit points) give resident doctors and consultants the latest updates in medicine.
