16th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders
On behalf of The Movement Disorder Society, we are honored to formally invite you to attend the 16th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders in Dublin, Ireland, from June 17-21, 2012.
The 2012 International Congress will be held in The Convention Centre Dublin, designed by Kevin Roche. This is Ireland's world class, purpose built international conference and event venue. Prepare to experience a location like no other, right in the heart of Dublin (UNESCO City of Literature). We look forward to coming together to learn about the latest research and advancements, collaborate with colleagues and actively participate in the advancing field of Movement Disorders, all while enjoying the history, literature, sights, sounds, and tastes of ancient Dublin.
Dublin (from the Irish Gaelic An Dubh Linn meaning 'the black pool') was established as a Viking settlement on the River Liffey over 1,000 years ago. The Anglo-Norman and subsequent English invasions followed. During the Georgian period, when it was the second largest city in the British Empire, Dublin became an important European cultural centre. This rich and varied history has left an indelible mark on this colourful and atmospheric city. Today, Dublin is a bustling metropolis with a population of over 1.7 million. Home to over 100 different nationalities, it has a genuinely cosmopolitan feel and yet retains its own distinct culture, which is expressed in a love of literature, drama and traditional music.
We are delighted to welcome you to Dublin for the 16th International Congress and hope you will take the opportunity to be part of this exceptional Scientific Program. We promise an unparalleled learning opportunity.
