Dear Colleagues,
The World Congress of Neurology (WCN) has been the world's largest scientific event in Neurology for over half a century. Doctors from various disciplines, together with neuroscientists, have collaborated in the organization of the best academic curriculum at preceding congresses and have contributed greatly to the worldwide neuroscience community. The next WCN will be held in Bangkok during October 24th-30th, 2009 and will be hosted by The Neurological Society of Thailand under the congress theme "Innovation in Neurology". The main purpose of this congress is to offer the participants from all regions of the world the most up-to-date knowledge in the neurosciences.

We are planning a full program of internationally-prominent guest speakers and an exciting social program which will showcase our beautiful country.

On behalf of the WCN 2009 Organising Committee it is a great pleasure for me to extend to you all a warm welcome to Thailand.

Regards,
Niphon Poungvarin, MD, FRCP
Congress President
WCN 2009
