INVITATION TO THE INDUSTRY

Dear Industry Partners,

I am glad to announce that the 10th Congress of the European Hip Society will be held at the Milan Marriott Hotel congress venue in Milan, Italy from 20 to 22 September 2012.

A minimum of 800 delegates are expected to attend the Congress. Based on the experience of previous Congresses of the European Hip Society, the Scientific Committee chaired by myself is planning a high quality scientific programme which consists of keynote lectures, symposia, instructional courses, interactive case discussions and free paper presentations.
All the relevant areas in hip will be covered and updated by world renowned experts in the field. Particular emphasis will be given to new frontiers of innovations in the techniques and ultimate instrumentations in conservative hip surgery, hip replacement, revisions and traumatology.
This will make the meeting a unique international opportunity to convey the latest scientific updates to people who are upfront in translating new knowledge into clinical application.

I hope that your company will be interested in taking part and in supporting this event.
To this purpose, I am kindly inviting you to get in direct touch with the Organising Secretariat (O.I.C. Srl Florence Italy - Sponsor Division Ms Annalisa Batistini at info@ehs2012.org) at your very earliest convenience to finalise the highest-visibility sponsorship opportunities for your best participation.

Satellite Symposia are welcome, topics and speakers in the different sponsored sessions must be agreed with the Scientific Committee in order to avoid overlaps or competition and increase the scientific and educational quality of the congress.

Looking forward to receiving your kind and positive feedback, I remain,

Yours sincerely

Luigi Zagra

Congress President
