Welcome to Bengaluru, the silicon valley of India and the garden city of India. We last hosted in 2002. The globalization of Indian Rheumatology started then. Apart from the scientific feast, take time to explore the wonderful shops, culinary delicacies, and landmarks of our city. It will be an unforgettable and incredible experience in Iracon 2024. As the founder of the Karnataka Rheumatology Association, I warmly invite you to Bengaluru.
