About to start: The 14th World Congress on IVF
(wz) On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first successful “test-tube” baby was born in Great Britain. The technology that made her conception possible, heralded as a triumph in medicine and science, has since revolutionized the management of infertility and impacted contraception, menopause, sexual dysfunction and other related disciplines.
In this connection, the World Congress on In Vitro Fertilization has been a major event in the scientific calendar of physicians and scientists in the field of reproductive health for the past two and a half decades. As the main international meeting focusing essentially on the fields of IVF and ART, and with the rapid advances that continue to be achieved in these fields, this Congress has become an important and unique multidisciplinary forum that brings together clinicians, scientists, embryologists, and support staff.
Driven by a strong international desire to continue with the World Congresses on IVF, the newly created International Society for In Vitro Fertilization (ISIVF) is pleased to invite you to attend the 14th World Congress on IVF, to be jointly held with the 3rd World Congress on IVM, in Montreal, Canada, from September 15 to 19, 2007. Part of the proceeds will be dedicated to create the Robert Edwards Chair in Assisted Reproduction Technologies at McGill University.
Why Montreal? What better location for this international exchange of ideas, than this vibrant and cosmopolitan city! Montreal, where Europe and North America converge, resonates with a rich past, mingling with an architecturally stunning present. With a venue in the heart of downtown, this conference offers ample opportunity to visit our famous museums, experience exquisite dining, shop in our exclusive boutiques or relax in the ambience of our sidewalk cafes. We look forward to welcoming you to Montreal and providing you with an exciting and unforgettable scientific and cultural experience. (Introduction and overview of the committee)
