IV Congresso Latino-Americano de Disfagia (PT)

Dear colleagues, healthcare professionals, and friends of the swallowing community,

We invite you to participate in the IV Latin American Congress on Dysphagia, which will be held from May 20 to 23, 2026, in Cancun, Mexico, hosted by Anáhuac Cancun University.

This meeting will bring together specialists, researchers, and therapists from across Latin America to share the most relevant scientific and clinical advances in dysphagia management. This edition will also host the 1st Latin American IDDSI Festival, a space dedicated to the practical application of international food safety and diet consistency standards, with workshops, demonstrations, and interactive activities. It will be a unique opportunity for professional development, presentation of research, strengthening of networks, and to enjoy an exceptional academic and human environment.

We look forward to seeing you in Cancun for an experience of learning, innovation, and professional networking!

Welcome to a new edition of growth, exchange, and learning.

With appreciation, Organizing Committee IV CLADS Latin American Dysphagia Society (SLAD) Mexican Dysphagia Society (SOMEDI)

All submitted abstracts—both research papers and clinical case studies—will be evaluated by an international committee of reviewers, who will determine whether the work will be accepted as an oral presentation or a poster presentation during the Congress in Cancun.

All accepted abstracts, as well as oral and poster presentations, will be part of the free paper competition.

The oral presentations and posters presented during the Congress in Cancun will be evaluated again by an international committee of evaluators, who will award first, second, and third place in each category.
