Dear friends

The ESSIC annual meeting will take place this year in Florence Italy from 29 November till December 1.

Prof G Del Popolo and his team have put together a very interesting program with eminent speakers and ample time for discussion and questioning.

I hope that all of you will join us for what promises to be an excellent event.

Bring your partner and friends as Florence is well known for its art, charm and good food.

BPS/IC remains a challenging clinical entity. But through the cooperation inside ESSIC and the good friendship with major interested colleagues around the world there is progress  in the knowledge of the pathophysiology, the clinical symptoms and signs, the typing and the respective optimal treatments and follow-up

Your interest and experience will again bring extra weapons to step further in the direction of understanding what BPS/IC means and what can be done about it

Best regards

Jean Jacques Wyndaele ESSIC President
