This year’s congress holds extraordinary historical significance as we gather to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists (KSA). Since our founding in 1956, the KSA has been a cornerstone of medical progress in Korea, and this milestone serves as a majestic bridge between our storied legacy and a limitless future. This year’s slogan, “Smart Anesthesia, Safer Tomorrow,” encapsulates the vision of our congress. “Smart” represents the integration of artificial intelligence, data-driven decision-making, cutting-edge technology, and deep clinical insight. “Safer” reflects our unwavering commitment to enhancing patient safety and improving the quality of care. “Tomorrow” signifies our dedication to future-oriented advancement and global collaboration.
