Spine Experts Group Meeting

Dear Colleagues;

As we are approaching the end of 2010, we will be holding our annual meeting on 2-3 December 2010 in Istanbul. For the last 5 years I have enjoyed various cities around the region, and I will enjoy serving as your host this year. These meetings serve as a platform for scientific debate as well as a social gathering of various cultures in the Southeast Europe.

Our topic for this meeting is "Degenerative Spine". We will also be sparing time for case presentations on trauma, tumor and infection that are interesting and also have educational value. Deadline for submissions is 25 October 2010. Time limits; oral presentation 10 minutes, case presentation&discussion 15 minutes.

The meeting will be held at the Novotel Hotel, which is 20 minutes away from the airport and has very light traffic. It has a sea view. There will be no registration fee. All you need to do to join us is to book the hotel room and make your own flight reservations.

I'd like to thank my friends who made this meeting in Istanbul a reality. The Turkish spine surgeons and I will be honored to host you this year.
