UltraFest India 2025 is officially live, welcoming radiologists, sonographers, educators, and industry partners from across the country. As the 14th edition of India’s most trusted ultrasound and radiology conference, the event is scheduled from 25th to 27th April 2025 at the state-of-the-art CIDCO Convention Center, Vashi, Navi Mumbai. Whether you are a first-time attendee or a long-time delegate, this article will help you navigate everything from registration to travel and maximize your three-day experience.

Step 1: Secure Your Registration Early

UltraFest has always been known for its limited-seating hands-on workshops and early-bird discounts. Registration is now open through the official UltraFest India website. Choose your category — Consultant, Resident, Fellow, Corporate or International Delegate — and lock your spot before the early-bird deadline ends. Hands-on workshops, in particular, sell out within days because they maintain small faculty-to-participant ratios for effective probe training.

Keep your medical council details, institution ID (if you are a resident), and a valid email ID ready to speed up the sign-up process. Most delegates also add workshops and gala dinner passes during initial registration to avoid last-minute edits.

Step 2: Know the Program Highlights

Hands-On Ultrasound Stations

These stations cover vascular Doppler, MSK imaging, breast elastography, fetal anomaly scans, FAST protocols and interventional basics. Faculty provide individual feedback and real-time probe correction. Each track is capped for quality training, so early confirmation is crucial.

Keynote Lectures & Live Demonstrations

Listen to international and national faculty break down high-yield topics — advanced liver imaging, pediatric abdomen pitfalls, pelvic Doppler updates, and emerging AI-assisted ultrasound reporting. Live demonstrations bring clarity to challenging cases and complex scanning techniques.

Poster & Oral Presentations

Residents and young researchers present their studies, case series and imaging innovations. Abstract submission is still open for a limited window; this is an excellent platform to showcase your work and gain peer recognition.

Step 3: Plan Your Travel & Stay

The CIDCO Convention Center in Navi Mumbai is well-connected to airports, railway stations and highways. Delegates arriving from outside Mumbai can book hotels in Vashi or Nerul for easy access. The conference website will soon publish recommended accommodation partners offering discounted rates for attendees. Local cabs, app-based rides, and metro connectivity make commuting smooth and predictable.

If you’re presenting a paper or poster, carry your slides and poster file backed up digitally. Plan to reach a day early if you’re unfamiliar with Mumbai’s traffic patterns.

Step 4: Prepare Your Personal Learning Plan

Set Goals for Each Day

Review the published agenda once it’s live. Pick sessions that align with your practice area — e.g., obstetric scans, MSK, head & neck or pediatric imaging. Keep a short note of your recurring diagnostic dilemmas to ask faculty during Q&A or networking breaks.

Use the Industry Expo Strategically

The expo is where you can test-drive the latest ultrasound consoles, AI-reporting software and interventional tools. If your department is planning upgrades, bring brief specs or sample cases so vendors can demonstrate relevant solutions. Collect catalogs and compare features before making purchasing decisions.

Step 5: Network and Build Connections

UltraFest India is as much about collaboration as it is about learning. Use coffee breaks and cultural evenings to meet new colleagues, explore cross-institution research, and discuss job or fellowship opportunities. Carry visiting cards or digital contact info — many delegates now exchange LinkedIn QR codes to stay connected.

Pro Tips for First-Time Attendees

• Dress smart & comfortable: Conference days are long and include movement between halls and demo zones.
• Charge devices fully: Many rely on tablets for note-taking and scanning handouts; power banks help.
• Follow UltraFest on social media: Real-time schedule tweaks, room changes and special meet-ups are often announced there.
• Keep cashless payments ready: Food stalls and expo counters are mostly digital but having UPI/credit card access helps.

Final Words

UltraFest India 2025 promises to be bigger and better — with actionable training, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched networking. Register early, plan your sessions smartly, and bring your curiosity. By the end of three days, you will return with sharpened scanning skills, updated protocols, and valuable professional connections. Don’t wait — secure your seat now and be part of India’s most exciting radiology and ultrasound learning experience.
