Welcome Message

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It gives us immense pleasure and excitement to invite you all to the 5th Annual Young Neurosurgeons Forum Conference (YNFCON 2026), to be held in the electrifying city of Mumbai — the city of dreams, energy, and endless possibilities!

The theme for this year, “Young Minds, Global Horizons,” reflects our vision of connecting the next generation of neurosurgeons across continents — inspiring collaboration, mentorship, and lifelong friendships. This year, we anticipate a vibrant gathering of nearly 1,000 young neurosurgeons from India and around the world, making YNFCON 2026 a truly global celebration of youth, science, and spirit.

Adding to the excitement will be a host of unique YNF initiatives designed to educate, engage, and entertain:

  • The much-awaited YNF Premier League (YNFPL) — our signature cricket tournament for neurosurgeons.

  • Best Paper, Best Resident, Best Illustration,, and Best Photographic Click Awards.

  • The Silver Clip Award- Best Video / Reel Presentation.

  • YNF Simulation Lab – learn hands-on from peers and mentors.

  • YNF Video Parlour – showcasing surgical brilliance.

  • YNF Shark Pitch Award – where young innovators pitch big ideas.

  • Plus, fun and interactive games for young neurosurgeons to unwind, relax, and showcase their hidden talents!

And what better venue than the iconic The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake — a serene setting that combines luxury, breathtaking views, and warm hospitality. We welcome you to Mumbai — to learn, connect, play, and celebrate the spirit of neurosurgery together! Let’s make YNFCON 2026 an unforgettable fusion of science, sports, and smiles. See you in Mumbai!

With warm regards,
