Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
The organization both scientific presentations of the materials as well as the timing were excellent. Also, airport transfer at arrival and departure were perfect without long waiting times. The overall organization was beyond expectation. A very appropriate high-tech area was allocated to the subsidiary exhibition, live surgeries and poster presentation. Moreover, there were many hotels with fair prices close to the congress convention center. The convention center was located at a spot with a great view to the sea and this could refresh the participants coming out of the halls after several hours of mental work. The facilities provided for issuing certificates, paying registration and membership fees were admirable and all tasks were done within a few minutes. This leads to better planning for subsequent years and this brings about more income for organizers and more enthusiasm for the participants. |
