WELCOME TO THE CONGRESS OF AFU

Presiding the French Congress of Urology is a great honor and I warmly thank the Board of Directors of the French Association of Urology (AFU) and its President Thierry Lebret for giving me this opportunity. It is also a great emotion for me, 20 years after being the head of the Organizing Committee of this congress as Secretary General of the AFU for 9 years. This major event of our association since its founding in 1896 remains the pillar. This 112 th Congress, scientifically organized by Xavier Gamé, with all his talent, Secretary General of the AFU and all the dynamic team of the Congress Committee, must bring us all we need to know about the evolution of the urological science and our practices, to improve the care of our patients.

ESMO Asia 2018 will keep oncology professionals in the Asia-Pacific region up to date with the fast pace of oncology science and education, and provide important networking opportunities with international peers.

The congress programme will offer state of the art oncology education covering all major tumour types. We invite you to save the date for ESMO Asia 2018!

The 2018 Radiological Society of North America annual meeting will be held from November 25-30 in Chicago, IL, with the theme, "Tomorrow's Radiology Today". Stay tuned for more information on meeting presentations, exhibits and attractions planned for 2018.

2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the symposium of the German Society for Robot-Assisted Urology. It is an honor for me to host this anniversary event. This symposium has always been the most important event on all questions of robotics in German-speaking countries.

The symposium will cover all relevant areas of robotics. I focus on the presentation of established surgical techniques and new surgical techniques. For this purpose, appropriate live operations will be demonstrated by recognized experts in robotics. Other important topics will be new technical developments and issues related to the economics of robotic operations. There will also be the opportunity for hands-on training on the surgical robot.

With great pleasure and immense honor, we invite you to join the Annual Congress on Nephrology & Hypertension from December 6-7, 2018 to be held at Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The scientific commission cooking the program with great care to deliver a world-class scientific program to make this gathering a memorable one by adding up up-to-date research sessions with diverse educational meetings and an assembly of eminent national and international speakers will contribute whose diverse areas of expertise will build upon the remarkable dedication to excellence in teaching and research. We have collaborations and partnerships with numerous organizations.

Apart from applied aspects of routine clinical nephrologist, we are fortunate to welcome any latest advances and innovations and exchange ideas by the national and international eminent speakers and researches as it is very much needed for the fast growing generations.

Nephrology Summit 2018 is the place where one can go beyond imaginations apart from scientific world. Just you have to grab the opportunity for a remarkable memory where we can continue to engage the extraordinary talents and resources which can lead us in the important time.

Lastly, we very much look forward for your contribution and extraordinary dedication. I am honoured to be a part of such a remarkable and talented community. I hope you will join together with us to attend the Nephrology Summit 2018 | December 6-7, 2018 at Amsterdam, Netherlands, a moment of prayerful reflection before the year begins, and I look forward to the year ahead.

The ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress helps to increase the overall understanding of the potential of immunotherapy and its implications for clinical practice, today and in the future.  

The Congress keeps oncologists up-to-date in this rapidly evolving field and is the ideal platform for all interested stakeholders. From the basics of immunotherapies to the latest research results; from understanding different treatment options to management of toxicities and interpretation of new data, the Congress builds the European community of immuno-oncology stakeholders.
