Conference Overview

CHILDEX: Origins is a premier global conference in Jeddah dedicated to advancing child health through innovation, leadership, and excellence, featuring expert-led workshops and scientific tracks.

CHILDEX: Origins is the inaugural edition of the Child Health Innovation, Leadership, Development & Excellence eXchange, designed to be a national and regional leader in advancing pediatric care. Hosted at the Hilton Jeddah, this landmark event brings together Saudi and international experts to unveil national projects, genomic programs, and blueprints for child health in the Kingdom by 2030. The conference features an array of hands-on, CME-accredited pre-conference workshops covering critical areas such as POCUS, EEG, AI-powered research, child protection, NIRS, and pediatric radiology. Attendees will benefit from high-fidelity simulations, interactive case readings, and unparalleled networking opportunities aimed at shaping the next decade of pediatric medicine.
