Welcome
Society for Endocrinology BES 2008
Harrogate International Centre, Harrogate,
7-10 April 2008
We are delighted to provide you with preliminary details of the Society for Endocrinology BES 2008 meeting, taking place in Harrogate on 7-10 April 2008. We are looking forward to building upon the success of our 2007 meeting and have planned an exciting scientific programme. This three-day annual meeting brings together the best of basic science, translational research, clinical investigation and clinical practice.
The meeting will encompass eight plenary lectures, six of which being medal lectures. There will be nine symposia and a clinical debate. Other sessions include Clinical Management Workshops, Meet the Expert sessions, Young Endocrinologist and Nurse sessions to mention a few.
The meeting will feature both oral communications and poster presentations. There will be many prizes available for high-scoring presentations by Young Endocrinologists.
Harrogate is a picturesque town located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. This market town is filled with boutiques, antique shops and fantastic accommodation. The conference facilities are also excellent, the Harrogate International Centre being the second largest venue outside London.
There will be various sports events taking place on the morning of Monday 7 April; please feel free to sign up and join in. Join us at the Holiday Inn for a drink at the end of the first day – the Welcome Reception is a chance to relax and catch up with colleagues and peers. Tuesday evening sees the banquet, which will take place at the Old Swan Hotel, an ideal venue for what promises to be a memorable evening.
We look forward to seeing you in Harrogate.
