Updates (Keynote)
These are sessions in which speakers are expected to provide objective, exhaustive reviews in a field, either clinical or basic. Issues regarding diagnosis, management and different aspects of research will be evaluated. They are addressed to participants who wish to acquire practical knowledge on a specific subject. The presenter’s own clinical acumen will allow for clinical interpretation of the data presented. An interactive discussion with the audience at the end of the session is expected.

Meet the Professor
Meet the Professor sessions allow delegates to meet in a small group with renowned researchers and clinicians. The format is a round table designed to facilitate informal discussions, allowing participants to present their questions and gain new perspectives. To foster a more intimate learning environment, space is limited to fewer than 25 people and a nominal fee will be charged.

Symposium
Symposia are significant educational sessions aimed at critically reviewing diverse aspects of a specific topic. Moderators will oversee between 3-5 focused talks which probe the depth of the topic. The target audience consists of delegates who are primarily interested in the subject or wish to update their knowledge in the area. Audience interaction will be prominent with robust “Question and Answer” opportunities. Many of the symposia will feature Multidisciplinary, Technical, or Scientific themes.

Debates
Debates allow speakers to debate controversial topics in an attractive format which provides “food for thought”. Questions for which we have no good answers yet are featured. This motif is always lively and entertaining. The faculty chosen for these sessions are highly acclaimed clinicians with passion for their positions.
