CISTM9 Lisbon, May 1-5, 2005,
is just around the corner: on the calendar and on the map. Start making your plans to attend.

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 9th Conference of the International Society of Travel Medicine which will address, with a global perspective, all aspects of the rapidly developing discipline of travel medicine.

Perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and with a personality split between Western Europe and Northern Africa, Lisbon is a European city like no other. Portugal’s capital boasts as grand a cultural and historical heritage as that of any other major European city, but also a tumbledown, earthier side that sets it apart. A most modern convention center, flooded with light and close to the historical center of the city, provides an ideal setting for creative thinking, for productive debate, and for the acquisition of new knowledge. We invite you to enjoy the dynamic city life, the cultural events, and the living traditions of Portugal and, most importantly, conferencing in Lisbon.

We look forward to seeing you, hearing your ideas, and drawing on your expertise. We in turn will provide you with the latest scientific information and solutions to common and uncommon problems – all this to enhance your day-to-day practice of travel medicine while increasing your global perspective on our ever-changing and growing profession.
