INVITATION

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to Georgia to take part in the 25th IUSTI Europe Conference to be held in Tbilisi, Sept. 23-25, 2010 at the Sheraton Metechi Palace Hotel. This event is exceptionally important not only for Georgia, but also for the whole region of South Caucasus since a forum of this scale has never been held here. It is important to emphasize that by approving Tbilisi as a venue for the 25th Europe Conference IUSTI has been the first among similar international organizations to extend its geographic boundaries. That is why we have chosen Broadening Your Horizons as the Tbilisi conference motto.
The strong impact all over the world, the variety of clinical pictures, and the different medical disciplines involved, make STI a topic of global interest. In order to meet the needs of all participants: clinicians, scientists, nurses and students, STI-related problems, including HIV/AIDS, will be considered under several approaches, from basic science to social issues.
Our conference will continue the tradition of previous IUSTI-Europe Meetings - provide the most updated information in the field of STI and HIV and give the participants an opportunity of meeting experts from all over the world. The structure of the meeting is similar to the previous ones. Poster sessions have also been planned.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the scientific part of the meeting, as well as the unique historical environment of Tbilisi. Being at the Crossroads of European and Asian cultures Georgia has plenty to offer to you in terms of sightseeing, entertainment, fun and outstanding food.
Your presence here will be appreciated by the organizing committee, and also by all medical professionals of Georgia. It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Tbilisi in September 2010.
