Gericon - The National Geriatric Conference

01/02/2026

We are delighted to unveil the official logo of GERICON 2026, the Annual National Conference of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics, to be held in Kochi, Kerala.

The 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.

We look forward to welcoming geriatricians, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from across the country to this landmark academic event.

IMA COCHIN | 19-22 November 2026

The IAG Kerala Chapter, in collaboration with the Department of Geriatrics at Amrita School of Medicine, Kochi, conducted a half-day workshop for MBBS students on August 3, 2024, in Kochi. The sessions, led exclusively by IAG faculty, were well-received by the students and proved to be an eye-opener for faculty members from other departments in attendance. The workshop attracted over 150 students from various colleges in and around Kochi.

Innovative approaches to medical education, such as role plays and quizzes, were highly appreciated and sparked a keen interest in the subject among the students. The workshop, a power-packed 2.5-hour session, provided a refreshing and engaging experience.

This event was organized as a curtain-raiser for the upcoming GERICON 2024, the national geriatric conference at BHU, Varanasi, with the theme "Bringing Geriatrics to Medical Graduates."
