17th SLS Annual Meeting and Endo Expo 2008
Miami, FL – April 21, 2008
“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood…” so said
Daniel H. Burnham, a visionary leader for the City of Chicago and the organizer
of the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 and publisher of
the 1909 Plan of Chicago.
As an attendee of the 17th Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons Annual Meeting and Endo Expo 2008 in Chicago, birthplace of the skyscraper, you too can “make no little plans.”
From September 17-20, 2008, esteemed national and international laparoscopic surgeons will assemble at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place to increase their own knowledge and share what they know with others at this multispecialty conference on laparoscopic, endoscopic, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. The meeting offers six Master’s Classes; Plenary Sessions; Lap Updates of multiple topics; Live Surgery Telecasts; Exhibitions; Competition for Best Papers, Videos, and Posters from Professors to Fellows and Residents; Future Technology Sessions; and over 200 Scientific presentations in General Surgery, Gynecology, and Urology.
As in 2007, you can custom-tailor your 2008 conference experience to address your needs and interests–GYN Laparoscopy, Surgical Endoscopy, or Endourology. What a conference!
Awards will be presented for Best Poster ($500) and for the Resident Award-Winning Paper ($1,000). Distinguished inventor, pioneer, and physician, Dr. Harrith Hasson, is this year’s Excel Award recipient. Virtual Live Telesurgeries will be a robotic colon resection and a hysterectomy of endometriosis. Visit our Virtual Exhibit Hall where you can participate in the “Top Gun Laparoscopy Shoot-Out,” learn about the latest innovations of the past year, and meet and greet our corporate sponsors at over 40 booths. The SLS booth and Cyber Café offer information about upcoming conferences, membership and its benefits, plus cyber services like a WiFi station, E-mail access, and hands-on online resources. Our special event is the SLS Evening with Faculty, which features a tour, dinner, and a keynote speaker. This years’ Evening is “Exploring Space at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum.” Another special event for spouse or guest is an architecture tour of Chicago, which begins at the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum and Studio.
This is the vanguard of medical conferences. It organizers—with you in mind—have “made no little plans”!
