Dear Colleague,

In 1996, during a historic meeting of the Latin American Metabolic Information Network (LAMIN) in Porto Alegre, the vision for the Latin American Society of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Neonatal Screening (SLEIMPN) was born. After 14 milestone congresses across the continent, SLEIMPN is coming home to its origin for its landmark XV Congress.

Under the central theme “Precision from Day One: Integrating IEM, NBS and AI”, the scientific program will feature international key opinion leaders across basic research, translational insights, and clinical applications for inborn errors of metabolism and neonatal screening. Attendees can expect keynote lectures, expert panels, satellite symposia, and interactive abstract presentation sessions.

The event will be hosted in a modern convention center directly connected to a major shopping complex, just steps from the headquarters hotel along the scenic Lake Guaíba waterfront.

Do not miss this landmark gathering where over three decades of regional legacy meet the future of metabolic medicine.

Mark your calendar and join us in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on October 11-14, 2028!

Roberto Giugliani and the

XV SLEIMPN Organizing Committee
