Introduction
It is our pleasure and that of the Organizing Committee to welcome you to attend the International Congress Transfusion Practice & Transfusion Alternatives: From blood bank to perioperative period on May 20-22, 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic.
Prague is a city known for its beauty, history, nightlife, and culture. We hope it will be the perfect setting to meet with colleagues, learn about transfusion medicine, and have the chance to visit museums, historic places, and enjoy restaurants and nightlife. The Congress will be held at the new four-star de luxe Adel’s Hotel & Suites located in the new business zone "Andel City." The underground station "Andel" ensures a quick connection to the city centre with its famous sights.
The scientific program promises to be extremely attractive and will enable a state-of-the-art update in the field of transfusion medicine and blood management presented by renowned experts. We have prepared an interesting educational program that includes comprehensive reviews of significant areas such as management of anaemia, blood preparation and supply, fractionation and use of plasma, management of massive bleeding, and new technologies.
The success of a Congress depends very much on the sponsorship of companies such as yours. We hope that your company will help us in our organizational efforts, and will consider some of the enclosed sponsoring opportunities.
Should you require any further information or assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Prague, where you can enjoy an interesting meeting, as well as the many attractions of the city.
Best regards,
Prof. Aleš Roztočil M.D., Ph.D.
