The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) is pleased to partner with the Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN) to host the World Congress of Nephrology 2011. The World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) is the leading educational event in international nephrology attracting attendance from the worldwide nephrology community, including physicians, academicians, and clinical researchers, as well as other healthcare professionals involved in multidisciplinary nephrology care. The WCN aims to advance the education of physicians and other professionals, support the development of clinical research, and facilitate the delivery of high-quality healthcare worldwide.

The WCN 2011 Scientific Programme Committee Chair, Richard J. Johnson, with co-chairs Adeera Levin, Jurgen Floege and Marcello Tonelli, and the scientific theme committees have designed a groundbreaking program with world renowned renal medical professionals covering eight scientific themes, numerous CNE, Interventional Nephrology, and Pathology courses and eight insightful and innovative keynote addresses. For the first time, pros and cons debates will be featured in the program.

The WCN 2011 will again be the leading "world congress" of nephrology, not only providing a world-class scientific programme, but also reflecting the unique role of the International Societies' efforts to advance renal care in both the developed and the developing world. The Congress will also highlight Canada's distinguished experience with diversity. Canada's inhabitants reflect a cultural, ethnic and linguistic makeup found nowhere else on earth, a true cultural.
