BeSARPP | Congress 2017

Congress 2017

WELCOME

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the BeSARPP Board and the Scientific Committee, we would like to invite you to the BeSARPP Annual Meeting which will be held at SQUARE in Brussels on November 17-18, 2017.

Each year, our Society succeeds in offering an attractive program during the Saturday Meeting. International experts travel to Belgium to share their knowledge and expertise. Looking at the number of anesthesiologists attending the meeting each year, this has proven to be a highly successful format for many years.

This of course is also the case for this year’s edition: World renowned experts will focus on various technical innovations that will/might change your daily practice. 

However, the Scientific Committee has introduced several new features into the format of this year’s Meeting: The Meeting is extended to two days, workshops (on the difficult airway and on the use of ultrasound in anesthesia) are organized and an ethics program is presented.

Furthermore, a networking dinner and party is scheduled on Friday evening, open to all participants. We hope to meet many of you there, it is the ideal opportunity to mingle with speakers and colleagues. 

On Saturday, the Meeting is slightly shortened and closes with a late lunch.

We hope that participants will be enthusiastic about the new features of the Meeting.

We also hope to welcome many of you to Brussels for the SARB Annual Meeting.

Kind regards,

Marc Van de Velde
BeSARPP President
