ASPIRE is a relatively young international society, but it is growing steadily and surely both in the number of its members and in stature. We cover a most populous Asia-Pacific region with an estimated population of 4.3 billion and 13 countries. We now have 26 country representatives and 17 SIGs leaders to help with planning of various educational activities, some of which are specially designed to meet local needs.

I would like to invite you to join our annual congress, ASPIRE 2022. I am proud to say that the scientific committee and various SIG co-ordinators have put together an impressive, well-balanced program, providing participants the opportunity not just to be updated on the cutting edges of reproductive medicine, but also to learn various tips and tricks from pioneers & experts in the subject to improve their daily practice. In addition to a wide variety of lectures to be delivered by carefully chosen speakers, there are also panel sessions to discuss controversial topics, “How to” sessions to focus on practical knowledge, and video sessions for expert reproductive surgeons to share their surgical skills. The debate sessions, which help to sharpen the mind and yet full of fun, are surely not to be missed.

Please come and join us in ASPIRE 2022 virtual congress, share with us your views and experience during the discussion at the end of each lecture, or present the findings of your recent research or review in the free communication sessions.

I do very much look forward to your participation in ASPIRE 2022 virtual congress.

President, Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE)

The scientific theme for ASPIRE Virtual Congress 2022 will be on “Addressing the Challenges of Human Reproduction”.

The programme will run on 3 full days [Friday, 29 April 2022 – Sunday, 1 May 2022] and comprises of 1 Bruno Lunenfeld lecture, 7 Keynote lectures, 30 scientific sessions (including “How-to” sessions, Controversies, Debates and Video session), Free communications and Company symposia.

The scientific sessions will cover basic reproductive sciences as well as embryology and clinical sessions that will dissect and discuss thoroughly the cutting edges and current best practices which supported the success rate of IVF.

We also have an excellent line-up of speakers from all over the world who will be engaging you in discussions that will enrich your competencies in delivering daily fertility and IVF practices in your clinics.

On top of our main congress programme, ASPIRE 2022 will also be running 6 pre-congress courses developed by our ASPIRE Special Interest Groups (SIGs) on Thursday, 28 April 2022. The pre-congress courses will be on Male Infertility, Embryology, Reproductive Endocrinology, Endometriosis, Reproductive Surgery and Endometrium and Implantation.

We hope that our ASPIRE 2022 programme will enhance your learning experience and we look forward to having you join us virtually.

“See you” at ASPIRE Virtual Congress 2022.
