The APAO 2025 Congress is introducing a special hybrid format, allowing delegates to attend either physically in New Delhi, or virtually from anywhere in the world.

We understand that our colleagues from certain countries and regions are facing challenges in obtaining Indian visas to join us in person, and we hope this new arrangement will facilitate their participation.

Selected sessions will be accessible via a live streaming platform. To view the schedule, please visit the APAO Hybrid website.

To join us remotely, you may purchase a Virtual Pass via the APAO Scientific Portal.

For delegates attending the Congress in person, you will soon receive a confirmation letter from our local host, the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS). Please check the email address which you used to register for the event.   

Using the QR code in the confirmation letter, you can print your name badge at the Registration Counter, located in the Grand Foyer of IICC with the following opening hours:

Alternatively, you may print the name badge conveniently at the 24-hour self-service registration kiosks at selected hotels:
