IPSO Meetings and Conferences

IPSO meets annually at a joint congress with our sister organisation SIOP. The scientific meeting is open to all members. Papers may be submitted for presentation by members of the society, and by non-members if they are sponsored by a member of either IPSO or SIOP

The 2010 Annual Congress will be in held in Boston, USA: the IPSO meeting starts on 21st October, and runs for 2 days, merging with the SIOP congress, which continues to 24th October

During the joint congress there are a number of events that are of particular interest to paediatric surgical oncologists, not all of which are held during the IPSO part of the meeting. Please have a look at the linked summary.
