"As many of you know the World Congress of
Anaesthesiologists is to be held in Cape Town South
Africa from the 2nd -7th March 2008 at the
International Conference Centre (ICC) in the
Waterfront area of Cape Town .
The WORLD PAEDIATRIC ANAESTHESIA SATELLITE MEETING
will be held before the WCA on the 29TH February
2008- easy to remember its LEAP YEAR! - at the
VINEYARD HOTEL, NEWLANDS (a suburb of CAPE TOWN)
The innovative program is currently taking shape.
The talks are aimed at current issues in Pediatric
Anesthesia and will be placed on a website linked to
the WCA in the near future (July). Details regarding
accommodation, registration, cycle tour etc will
also be available on the website.
Buses will be arranged to transport delegates from
the ICC to the Vineyard for those who plan to stay
at the Hotels close to the ICC in the Waterfront
area
We have chosen 29th February for a number of reasons
1. The Satellite meeting has never been held on Leap
Year before!
2. The Paediatric Anaesthesia program at the World
Congress is scheduled for the MONDAY AND TUESDAY
3. Cape Town will be inundated with 35000 cyclists
for the 109 km Argus Cycle Tour around the Cape
Peninsula on Sunday 9th March. Hotel accommodation
will therefore be at a premium and the main roads
will be closed for the event. My advice would be to
get out of Cape Town by that weekend if you are not
a cyclist. If you are a cyclist then my advice is to
take part in the Tour. There is no better way to see
the beauty of Cape Town and its environs! It is both
a race and a fun ride with plenty of crowd support
along the way! Cape Town knows how to party!!
For any further information or queries you are
welcome to contact me
directly or the Conference Organiser Debra McTeer at
Deborah.McTeer@uct.ac.za
Spread the word!
Looking forward to having you in Cape Town
