Dear Colleagues,
As President of the ISPN, I wish to welcome you to the Annual Meeting in Sydney, Australia in September of 2012.
This meeting is particularly memorable as we are celebrating the 40th year since the inception of the ISPN.
Dr. Charles Teo and his team are working very hard to make this meeting highly successful academically and culturally adventurous as well. Together with Dr. John Kestle, Chairman of Scientific Committee, an excellent scientific academic program is under development.
We are returning to Australia since last being there for the 26th Annual Meeting held in Melbourne in 1998. The venue of the meeting which overlooks Sydney Harbour, provides a magnificent backdrop in which to share our scientific experience. Colleague to colleague, we will learn from each other and challenge each other as we renew our friendships and build new ones. Please join us for this exciting opportunity to visit Australia.
See you all “Down Under” this September.
Tad Tomita
ISPN President 2011-2012
