Geriatric Care Without Boundaries
Our theme, “Geriatric Care Without Boundaries,” envisions a future where elder care transcends barriers — between hospitals and homes, disciplines and systems, professionals and families. It calls for compassion that connects, collaboration that empowers, and a commitment to ageing that knows no boundaries.
Our logo, portrays an elderly couple walking hand in hand along Kerala’s tranquil backwaters — a graceful symbol of companionship, resilience, and the dignity of ageing. The coconut tree and houseboat reflect Kerala’s cultural warmth and natural serenity, while the purple and green tones signify wisdom, vitality, and renewal.
Together, the logo and theme capture the essence of Gericon 2026 — a celebration of knowledge, connection, and care without limits.

From the Organising Leadership...
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Gericon 2026 – Kochi, a gathering that celebrates knowledge, compassion, and collaboration in geriatric medicine. As the Indian Academy of Geriatrics continues to grow in reach and relevance, this conference marks a defining step forward — one that reflects the collective maturity and unity of our fraternity.
Kerala has always been a land where care and community intertwine. It is therefore fitting that this national conference is being held here — not under the banner of a single institution, but through the shared commitment of an entire state chapter working together. This harmony of purpose itself symbolizes what we aspire to achieve in geriatric care — integration, inclusivity, and continuity.
As we meet in Kochi — where tradition meets innovation and care meets community — I hope this conference will ignite new ideas, partnerships, and friendships that carry forward the mission of dignified ageing for all.
It’s with great joy and anticipation that I invite you to Gericon 2026 – Kochi. As we gather in the heart of Kerala, let this conference be more than an academic meeting — let it be a celebration of connection, compassion, and shared purpose.
Kochi, with its timeless backwaters and gentle rhythm, offers the perfect setting for reflection and renewal. Together, we will explore new ideas, forge friendships, and reaffirm our commitment to the wellbeing and dignity of older adults.
“Geriatric Care Without Boundaries” reminds us that ageing is not a challenge to be managed, but a journey to be embraced. It invites us to look beyond age and illness, and instead focus on the wholeness of life — physical, emotional, and spiritual.
We look forward to welcoming you with the warmth and hospitality that Kerala is known for — where every conversation, every session, and every moment will remind us why caring knows no boundaries.
