Registration is Now Open for the 18th Asian–Oceanian Congress of Nuclear Medicine and Biology (AOCNMB 2026) in Jeddah.




The Saudi Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SSNMMI) has opened registration for the 18th Asian–Oceanian Congress of Nuclear Medicine and Biology (AOCNMB), which will be held jointly with the 3rd SSNMMI Annual Conference from December 4–6, 2026, at The Venue Hotel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This marks the first time the congress — one of the region's most important scientific gatherings in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging — comes to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

What the Congress Offers

Organizers describe the 2026 congress as bringing together world-class speakers, a cutting-edge scientific program, and strong networking opportunities for professionals across the region and beyond. Sessions are expected to cover advances in nuclear medicine, updates in molecular imaging, precision theranostics, novel radiopharmaceuticals, clinical best practices, and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care. Accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) hours will be available, with the exact number of hours to be confirmed once official accreditation is finalized.

The congress is designed for a broad, multidisciplinary audience, including:
Nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, and physicists Radiopharmacists and radiologists Radiographers and radiation oncologists Medical oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists, and endocrinologists Surgeons and nurses Medical and healthcare students


Registration is now active and open through the SSNMMI website. Two main packages are currently available:
Professional Package — SAR 750 until October 31, 2026 (rising to SAR 1,000 from November 1, 2026). This includes full access to the conference and scientific program, accredited CME hours (once confirmed), a certificate of attendance, and coffee breaks and lunch. Student Package — SAR 400, offering full access to the conference and scientific program, a certificate of attendance, and coffee breaks.

Registration is confirmed only after payment is completed, and tickets are personal to the registrant. Access and logistical details will be shared with registered participants closer to the event date.

Prospective speakers can also apply to present at the congress through an online speaker application on the event page, which requires a short bio, proposed topic title, and contact details; applications are subject to review by the organizing board.


Venue and Location

The congress will be held on-site at The Venue Hotel in Jeddah — Saudi Arabia's coastal gateway city on the Red Sea and a major hub for business and cultural tourism, offering an accessible and welcoming setting for international delegates.


How to Register

Healthcare professionals, researchers, and students interested in attending can register through the official event page on the SSNMMI website (ssnmmi.org.sa), where full details on packages, the emerging speaker lineup, and the scientific program will continue to be updated in the lead-up to the congress.

With its blend of scientific depth, regional collaboration, and a historic first-time hosting by Saudi Arabia, the 18th AOCNMB is set to be a landmark event for the nuclear medicine community across Asia, Oceania, and the wider Middle East.
