Dear Colleagues:
Please note on your calendars that the
location of the
Joint
Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB - 2007 has been changed from Barcelona,
Spain, to
Berlin, Germany,
with the new dates
19-25 May 2007.
Very recently, the ISMRM was informed
that a very large tradeshow had been scheduled in Barcelona over the
dates of our upcoming ISMRM-ESMRMB Joint Annual Meeting - 2007. This
particular tradeshow of 4,500+ exhibitors brings in 265,000 participants
and reserves nearly all rooms in 350 hotels in Barcelona. It became
readily apparent from our discussions with representatives from the city
of Barcelona and its convention facilities that alternatives to our
published dates of 12-18 May 2007 needed to be explored because we and
the city were deeply concerned as to whether Barcelona would be able to
accommodate all our attendees. Specifically, we felt that there would
be insufficient hotel room availability for those of our attendees who
do not book their rooms through our housing company. Unfortunately,
there were no viable alternatives available in Barcelona, and it became
necessary to explore other options in Europe.
We are extremely pleased to inform you
that the
International Congress Center (ICC) in
Berlin, Germany,
will be the site of the Joint
Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB - 2007 , 19-25 May 2007, just a week following our previously published dates.
15 years ago the SMRM-ESMRMB Joint
Annual Meeting was held in Berlin, Germany. We hope you will all join
us
19-25 May
2007 in our
rediscovery of this dynamic city and share in experiencing all the
changes that have occurred since we last met in Berlin.
