I am pleased to announce that the planning is well underway for our upcoming congress in 2010. Together with the Chilean organising committee and our very own Congress Committee, much of the ground work is underway to ensure a fantastic experience in the beautiful city of Santiago.
For the first time in our 80 year history, our congress will be held in South America confirming the fact that our organisation is truly global.
With less than 11 months to go before we meet in Chile, I urge you all to carefully budget within this economic crisis to ensure that your country is truly represented at the congress, with particular attention to ensuring junior delegation representation.
All our Associations exist for the sole purpose of promoting our profession through various means and, I for one, sincerely believe that the junior members of our associations are the future of our profession.
To this end, Dr Billy Gallagher and his team from across the globe have taken to heart the comments from the last junior forum, and are in the process of creating a truly educational and rewarding experience for all the juniors at the Dr Billy Gallagher Junior Forum in Chile.
The congress committee, at large, have been working to ensure that the congress programme in 2010 offers each delegate an experience that is entertaining, educational and informative. Below are the registration prices for the 2010 congress in Santiago Chile (prices in Euros).
Delegate Programme:
890€ - Valid until December 2009

I hope to see you all in Santiago, Chile in just under a year!
Kind regards,
