Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM), I am pleased to invite you to attend the 8 th Conference of the International Society of Travel Medicine to be held in New York City at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in the heart of Times Square from May 7-11, 2003.
The goal of our New York conference is to share the advances in the science and art of travel medicine, while providing a world class location for you to enjoy with colleagues from around the world. Formats will include Plenaries and Symposia, Debates, Workshops, Original Scientific Presentations, Meet-the-Experts, Case of the Day and abstract presentations. Satellite programs and sponsored events will also be offered.
New York City provides an unmatched venue for the international community and an exciting opportunity for us to share our story about healthy travel with the world media. The social program promises attendees and their guests magnificent sightseeing, world-class shopping, as well as a wide array of unparalleled cultural events and entertainment. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Museum of Modern Art, American Museum of Natural History, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the World Trade Towers are just a few of the attractions. Broadway offers an array of theatrical experiences and Lincoln Center provides musical events and ballet, all within walking distance or a short cab ride from the hotel. New York boasts some of the finest restaurants in the world with the cuisine of every nation represented. For the sports minded, baseball will be in full swing at Yankee and Shea Stadiums.
On behalf of the Scientific Chairs and Local Organizing Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to this landmark 8th CISTM. You will have a most rewarding scientific, cultural and social experience.
