Dear Colleagues:
 

We are pleased to invite you to the 17th Pediatric Rheumatology European Society Congress that will be held for the first time in Valencia, Spain from 9-12 September 2010.

We acknowledge our responsibility and I as the president of this Congress along with the Organizing Committee and my colleagues expect to be able to contribute to a successful PRES 2010.

The PRES 2010 will take place in the Palau de la Música which it has become as a symbol of Valencia these last years, not only, because of its musical programme but also, its lovely location in the Turia River Gardens and near the city centre as well.

You will have the opportunity of visiting Valencia, with its interesting historical centre that contrast with the astonishing architectural modern Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.

An attractive and exhaustive programme mainly based on clinical, therapeutic and research aspects is being planned through conferences, sessions, oral papers and posters presentations with the aim of achieving an important update about Pediatric Rheumatology. 

We hope to see you in Valencia and we will make a great effort so that this congress will be an unforgettable experience.
 

Inmaculada Calvo, M.D. Ph.D.
On Behalf of the Organizing Committee
