2012 Ottawa Carcinoid NeuroEndocrine Conference
for Medical Professionals Patients and Caregivers
Friday May 4, 2012 - Sunday May 6, 2012
International Ottawa Conference an enormous success!
The recent International Ottawa Conference from May 4-6 at the Chateau Laurier was an enormous success, where many established and new diagnostic and treatment options from around the world were explored, and the latest neuroendocrine research was given unprecedented exposure.
Medical professionals, patients, and caregivers were able to choose from a variety of sessions geared to their particular level of interest, understanding and/or areas of NET expertise. There was a great deal of opportunity to mingle with other delegates and faculty, which provided many opportunities to maximise the learning experience for those present. It was also a wonderful opportunity to network and make new friends.
CNETS Canada thanks its many pharmaceutical, corporate, and private sponsors for their support of the conference. Please stay tuned for further follow up.
