Dear Colleagues:

The 37th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN) will be held October 11-15, 2009, in Pasadena, California. Dr. Gordon McComb will host this meeting at the luxurious Langham Huntington Hotel.  Dr. John Kestle, the Chairman of the Scientific Program Committee of ISPN, is leading the scientific program team; the program will include scientific sessions and guest lectures that cover neuro-oncology, spine, vascular, and advanced imaging techniques. Prior to the main meeting, there will be a nursing symposium that allows our nursing colleagues the opportunity to become involved and to join us for integrated health care. I expect that this meeting will be very unique, well organized, successful, and memorable.

On behalf of the ISPN, I would like to sincerely invite pediatric neurosurgeon colleagues to attend this very important meeting.  Every year, this annual meeting feels like a family reunion and I hope that you and your colleagues will join us in Pasadena to participate in this unique experience.

Sincerely Yours,

Tai-Tong Wong
President, 2008-2009
International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery
