Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2007
Berlin, Germany
19-25 May 2007





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.
