India is at a turning point in stroke medicine. With stroke now among the leading causes of death and disability across the country, the need for a dedicated, high-calibre platform where neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neurointerventionalists can learn, debate, and define the future of stroke treatment has never been more urgent. That platform is here.
For the first time in the Indian Subcontinent, Artemis Hospitals and CREST Neuro Services are jointly hosting the iCure Stroke & CREST Stroke Conclave a three-day medical conclave dedicated exclusively to stroke care, intervention, and outcomes. This is not a general neurology conference with a stroke module. This is the first event of its kind in the subcontinent, built around stroke from the ground up.
Event Details at a Glance
- Dates: 29 – 30 – 31 May
- Venue: The Leela Ambience, Gurugram, Delhi NCR
- Contact: +91-9825356452
- Endorsed by: CREST Neuro Conclave, iCure Stroke, INIF, Society of Neuro Vascular Interventions, and other leading national neuroscience bodies
Why This Conclave Matters
Stroke is a time-critical emergency. Every minute of delayed treatment costs neurons — and outcomes in stroke medicine are determined not just by surgical skill, but by system readiness: how fast a patient reaches a stroke-ready hospital, how quickly imaging is interpreted, how confidently a team decides on thrombolysis or thrombectomy, and how comprehensively rehabilitation begins afterward.
The iCure Stroke & CREST Stroke Conclave is designed to address all of these dimensions simultaneously. It brings together the most experienced stroke specialists in the country to share clinical protocols, discuss emerging interventional techniques, debate evidence, and work toward a shared standard of stroke care that raises outcomes across the board.
For attending clinicians — whether established consultants or residents building their subspecialty expertise — this conclave offers three days of concentrated, clinically relevant learning that no journal subscription or online course can replicate.
Leadership and Organising Team
The conclave is held under the patronage of Dr. Devlina Chakravarty, Managing Director of Artemis Hospitals, Gurugram a leader whose vision for subspecialty excellence has positioned Artemis as one of North India's foremost centres for neurosciences.
Dr. Sumit Singh, Chief of Neurology at Artemis Hospitals, brings decades of clinical and academic leadership in neurology to the organising chair. Alongside him, Dr. Tariq Matin, Chief of Neurointerventional Surgery, leads the interventional dimension of the programme — ensuring the conclave's content reflects the frontier of endovascular stroke treatment.
Dr. Mohit Anand (Consultant, Neurology) and Dr. Mukesh Kumar (Consultant, Neurointervention) serve as Organising Secretaries, with Dr. Sahaj Agarwal as Joint Organising Secretary — a team that brings both clinical depth and organisational precision to the event.
The CREST dimension of the conclave is anchored by Dr. Achal Kumar Srivastava and Dr. Anshu Rohtagi, whose leadership within the CREST network brings a national network of neurointerventionalists and stroke specialists into the programme.
Members of the Organising Committee
The broader organising committee reflects the full multidisciplinary scope of stroke care:
- Dr. Aditya Gupta: Chairperson, Neurosurgery & CNS Radiosurgery; Co-Chief, CyberKnife Centre
- Dr. SK Rajan: Chief, Neur2026 o Spine Surgery & Additional Director, Neurosurgery
- Dr. Saurabh Anand: Chief, Neuroanaesthesia & Neurocritical Care
- Dr. Sameer Arora: Sr. Consultant, Neurology
- Dr. Vivek Barun: Sr. Consultant, Neurology & Epilepsy
- Dr. Pawan Goyal: Associate Chief, Neurosurgery & Head, Neuroendoscopy
- Dr. Sanjeev Srivastava: Sr. Consultant, Neurosurgery
This depth of committee membership signals what the conclave's academic programme will reflect: stroke is not a single-specialty problem, and its solutions require the full orchestra of neurosciences working in concert.
The iCure Stroke & CREST Stroke Conclave is designed for:
- Neurologists and neurology residents looking to deepen their stroke protocols and exposure to current thrombolysis and thrombectomy practices
- Neurointerventional surgeons seeking advanced case discussions, live demonstrations, and peer exchange on endovascular techniques
- Neurosurgeons engaged in haemorrhagic stroke management and cerebrovascular surgery
- Neurocritical care specialists and neuroanaesthesiologists whose roles are central to acute stroke outcomes
- Radiologists and neuroradiologists involved in acute stroke imaging and intervention decision-making
- Hospital administrators and stroke programme leaders working to build or certify stroke-ready infrastructure
