The European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES) was founded on 25
May 2007 in Graz following the merging of EATES (European Association for Trauma
& Emergency Surgery) and ETS (European Trauma Society), and was registered in
Brussels on 9 November 2007. As a result, a new society emerged with 7,060
members, and 16 national societies as institutional members.
The 10th European Congress of Trauma & Emergency Surgery, will be organized in Antalya, 13-17 May 2009. We cordially invite you to the Turkish Riviera to experience true Turkish hospitality. Our aim is to organize a very active program of high scientific content featuring worldwide renowned experts as well as postgraduate courses. All participants will have the opportunity to actively participate in all discussion forums. We will build upon our valuable experience from the 2002 EATES meeting in Istanbul.
The Congress will be held in the Rixos Sungate Hotel , a facility with tremendous experience and professional capability in the organization of meetings of such high caliber. A main advantage is for the participants to be accommodated in the meeting hotel or in a nearby hotel with shuttle services, with no concerns about transport to and from the Congress events. Accommodation in the hosting facility also offers participants cost benefits under the all-inclusive Congress packages.
On behalf of the Turkish Association of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, we look forward to welcoming you to Turkiye to participate in this prestigious and promising scientific event.
