ISHCI 2010 - Twelfth International Symposium on Human Chlamydial Infections ISHCI 2010

On behalf of the International Organizing committee, I have the pleasure to announce that the Twelfth International Symposium on Human Chlamydial Infections will be held at the Hotel Jagdhof on Lake Fuschl in Hof bei Salzburg, Austria, 20 - 25 June 2010.

This Symposium will offer a high quality scientific meeting covering all aspects in the field of chlamydia research. This Symposium provides an excellent opportunity for specialists and trainees in sexual health, HIV medicine, public health, microbiology, epidemiology and behavioural science to share their ideas and experiences. Participants will be able to discuss the latest advances and progress in the field from the varied viewpoints of clinical practice and research in chlamydial biology, laboratory detection, public health epidemiology, and sexual behaviour. Participation in the Symposium is dependent on the acceptance of a submitted abstract that will be evaluated by the Scientific Review Committee. The scientific programme will feature many internationally respected speakers and will ensure a state-of-art, evidence-based and cutting-edge Symposium.

The village of Hof bei Salzburg is approximately a 2-hour drive from Munich International Airport and a 20-minute drive from the Salzburg Airport. This tranquil setting affords an opprotunity for concentrated and focused sharing of scientific ideas as well as access to a variety of local activities.

If you wish to receive the Second Announcement and Call for Abstracts to be emailed in September 2009, please click the RSVP link and submit your contact details. The Second Announcement will contain information about the meeting venue, registration fees, abstract submission forms, and a preliminary meeting schedule. Abstracts will be due 8 January 2010 at 5 PM (Pacific Standard Time).

We look forward to an exceptional meeting of the highest scientific quality and hope to see you in Austria in 2010.
