There isn`t a better time to book your trip to Sydney Australia than right now with the Australian dollar being extremely good value against other major currencies. Apart from the enormous value for money your attendance will be rewarded by an exciting and successful World Congress in medical ultrasound with a unique Australian flavour.
Sydney is a world-class convention destination with temperate climate and stunning scenery in a friendly and safe social structure. ASUM is dedicated to ensuring a successful scientific, educational and social congress in this modern and beautiful city. We can promise you that!
The 12th World Congress in Sydney will include exciting program topics such as: advanced imaging technology, quality assurance in radiology, medico-legal issues, 3D and 4D ultrasound, echocardiography, ultrasound contrast imaging, advances in therapeutic applications, hands-on workshops and live-demonstration sessions, pediatric cardiology, veterinary medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, musculoskeletal and emergency medicine. Visit www.wfumb2009.com for the full program.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to meet with exhibitors who will be displaying their new, innovative and technical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, supplies and services. Come and see what is new in the world of ultrasound. For the first time participants will be able to experience and choose from almost all disciplines of hands-on workshops with Sonographers and Doctors working together with the latest in imaging technology at this world medical ultrasound congress.
I am delighted with the support we are getting from industry for this extremely unique Sydney Congress. ASUM is grateful to our major sponsors Toshiba, GE Healthcare, Philips and Medison for their continuing support and we welcome Supersonic, Siemens, Zonare and Qld X-Ray as new sponsors.
Exhibition space is at a premium and has already been booked by companies such as Elsevier Australia, Sonosite, I-Med Network, Lantheus Medical Imaging, BK Medical and the Department of State and Regional Development.
As CEO of ASUM I am pleased with the progress and predict a great World Congress. Please join me and the ASUM Council in Sydney Australia on Sunday August 30 – till Thursday September 3, 2009, for a content-rich ultrasound meeting you don't want to miss. I look forward to meeting you there.
