Top international speakers will address current problems, developments and trends, and will bring new insights about issues of importance in the field. The symposium also will offer slide and poster presentations selected from proffered abstracts, of which nearly 450 were published last year. The scientific program consists of invited lectures and mini-symposia by experts in clinical and basic research, selected slide and poster presentations, and case discussions. General sessions are two to three hours in duration and are the vehicle for slide presentations, which are allotted 10 minutes each followed by five minutes of discussion. Poster sessions are two hours long.
Students can attend free of cost.
Group registrations must be received by Oct. 20 and all others by Oct. 31.
