A collaborative conference organised by the International Society of Travel Medicine and the Travel Medicine Societies and Organisations of Northern Europe.
Special Guest Speaker - Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal
Welcome
On behalf of the Organising Committee of the Northern European Conference on Travel Medicine (NECTM), I would like to extend a warm invitation to you to attend this meeting from 7-10 June 2006, in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, in the heart of Scotland's historic capital city. The Conference brings together many of the Travel Medicine Societies and Organisations of Northern Europe together with the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) to produce a unique programme. This is the second time the ISTM have partnered in a regional Conference. The first venture being the very successful Africa/European Conference in Cape Town in 2004. You will see from the Scientific Programme outline that the scope of the conference encompasses the broadest range of the most timely and topical travel health issues whilst keeping a northern European flavour. The programme excitingly reflects the particular travel medicine issues of the region.
We also promise that the stimulating science will be matched by an exceptional social programme for delegates and partners. Scotland is famous for its hospitality and Edinburgh is among the most beautiful cities in the world - dominated by its castle, sitting on an extinct volcano. The architectural grandeur of the New Town contrasts with the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Steeped in history and culture and with more restaurants per head of population than any other city in Europe, Edinburgh is currently a vibrant and confident city that excites and amazes all visitors. All the major attractions are within walking distance of the conference venue and hotels. We have included an evening event for families and friends as well as two talks describing Scotland’s history and culture. Do come and enjoy yourselves. You will be made most welcome.
