- Abstract
The article discusses the journey of the Singapore Thoracic Society (STS) in organizing the 27th Congress of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR) in 2023. The STS faced challenges in maintaining relevance and membership, but through en bloc membership with APSR and efforts to engage the local respiratory community, they successfully won the bid to host the congress. The article highlights the planning and preparation involved, as well as the support from the local respiratory community. The congress was held at the Suntec City Convention Centre in Singapore, and the article emphasizes the excellent infrastructure and connectivity of the city. The article also mentions the importance of a strong administrative staff and collaboration with South Korean colleagues who had organized the previous congress. The success of the congress was attributed to a well-organized scientific program, expert speakers, committed moderators, and talented colleagues for social events. The article concludes by expressing gratitude for the support received and the inspiration to continue advancing respiratory medicine.
