Welcome to APCB 2027 Manila
On behalf of the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WABIP), I invite you to the 11th Asian Pacific Congress on Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (APCB 2027). Held jointly with the 46th Annual Chest Convention of the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP), we will gather from March 2 to 4, 2027, at the EDSA Shangri-La Manila.
This congress highlights a strong, decade-long collaboration between WABIP, PCCP, and the Asian Pacific Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (APAB). For over 10 years, our organizations have thrived together, advancing education and clinical practice as Interventional Pulmonology (IP) continues to gain ground globally.
APCB 2027 provides a premier platform to share scientific research, discuss clinical advancements, and strengthen professional networks across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
We encourage you to participate in this important scientific exchange. I look forward to welcoming you to Manila in March 2027.
Sincerely,
Dr. Pyng Lee

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th Asian Pacific Congress on Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, hosted by the Philippine College of Chest Physicians in collaboration with the Asian Pacific Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, and the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology.
On behalf of the Philippine College of Chest Physicians, I warmly invite you to join us from March 2 to 4, 2027, at the Edsa Shangri-La Manila for this important regional gathering of experts, innovators, and clinicians dedicated to advancing bronchology and interventional pulmonology.
This congress will bring together leading specialists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to share the latest developments in diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, emerging technologies, and multidisciplinary approaches to complex airway and lung diseases. Through scientific exchange, hands-on learning, and collaborative dialogue, we hope to foster new ideas and strengthen partnerships that will continue to move our field forward.
We are especially proud to host this congress in the Philippines—a country known not only for its growing contributions to respiratory medicine but also for its warm hospitality and vibrant culture. We look forward to welcoming you to Manila for a meeting that promises rich scientific discussions, meaningful collaboration, and lasting friendships.

It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us in Manila on March 2 to 4, 2027, for the 11th Asian Pacific Congress on Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology.
Our theme, “Meeting the Needs and Challenges with Cutting-edge Technology: The Role of Interventional Pulmonology in the Asia-Pacific Region” underscores the great challenge we are now facing. In a region where respiratory diseases like tuberculosis, lung cancer, and COPD remain alarmingly prevalent, and with so much advancing technology at our disposal, how can we further innovate so that we can provide the most cost-effective pulmonary care for patients in resource-rich and resource-limited settings alike?
With the participation of world-renowned experts, we have designed a comprehensive scientific program and interactive hands-on workshops that aim to enrich our knowledge in relevant clinical issues and emerging technologies as well as refine our procedural skills. This is more than just a conference but an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and create solutions tailored for the unique challenges we face in the Asia-Pacific, and together we can bring hope to every breath.
The convention will be held in the Philippines, a country renowned for its warm and hospitable people, vibrant culture, world-class tourist destinations, and breathtaking pristine beaches. Beyond the academic experience, delegates will be able to enjoy the unique beauty and welcoming spirit that make the Philippines a truly memorable destination.
We look forward to warmly welcome you in Manila in March 2027.
