Dear Colleagues,

We sincerely invite you to participate in the 16th National Iranian Child Neurology Congress which will be held on 14 - 16th September 2016 at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.

Neurodevelopmental disabilities and delays are common problems in children, involving millions of children and their families all over the world, particularly in non-affluent countries. Most of these disabilities can be prevented or their severities can be decreased, giving these children the opportunity to have more productive and independent lives.

This congress aims to fulfill its role in helping these children and their families through increasing the awareness and practical skills of physicians, therapists, special education professionals.

The congress will be held by the collaboration of Iranian Child Neurology Association and International Child Neurology Association (ICNA) and is supported by Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Pediatric Health Research Center, Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran, and UNICEF office of Iran. We will have participants from the countries around our region.

Several workshops about normal development, developmental screening tools, developmental disorders and developmental care of children will be held. The main language of congress is English.

The themes of the congress would be early detection, early diagnosis, early intervention and educating the caregivers.

Keynote speakers from Iran, Turkey, Europe, North America and Australia will have presentations in the congress.

Dr. Seifollah Heidarabady

Executive Chair of Congress

It gives me the greatest pleasure to invite you to join us at the next International Congress on Neuromuscular Diseases to be held in Toronto from July 5-9, 2016. We are very excited to be hosting this important conference in Toronto as the Congress has been located in Europe for its meetings excepting the inaugural meeting in Vancouver in 2002. We hope to follow in the successful footsteps of the meetings in Vancouver, Istanbul, Naples and Nice. At the meeting in Nice in 2014, it was decided that the Congress would move to a two-year cycle instead of meeting every four years. At that meeting, Toronto won the bid to host the next International Congress in 2016

We have developed robust committees: International, program and local organizing, that are populated by outstanding neuromuscular physicians. The program committee is planning a fabulous program ranging across the spectrum of neuromuscular disorders. We will have sessions on muscular dystrophies, other myopathies, myasthenia gravis, polyneuropathies, spinal cord disorders, and neurofibromatosis to name some of the major themes within the Congress. We will have updates on our understanding of the genetics, pathogenesis, evaluation and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. At the end of this Congress, we hope that attendees feel that they have garnered the most up-to-date information available in neuromuscular disorders.

The members of the local organizing committee are very proud to be hosting the ICNMD2016 and look forward to welcoming you to our city and country. Toronto and its environs are an amazing place to visit. Our multicultural city has many diverse neighborhoods of interest to visitors. Short distances away are wonderful attractions such as Niagara Falls. We also have easy access to the North Country for those who are interested in visiting the Canadian wilderness. The meeting promises to be highly rewarding on a social basis as well as on an intellectual basis.

Please mark in your calendars the dates of the ICNMD2016, July 5 - 9, 2016, so that you may join your colleagues in what we hope will be a fantastic meeting.

Sincerely,

Dr. Vera Bril
