INGID Newsletter May 2008
This eJournal is to remind you about the INGID conference in s’Hertogenbosch in October of this year. Time is now very short for you to submit an abstract so that you can present at the conference and let everyone know of the work you are all doing in the field of primary immunodeficiencies. Instructions for submitting an abstract are repeated below from the previous eNewsletter, and can also be found on the INGID website.
INGID Conference - s’Hertogenbosch 2008
The next biannual INGID Conference will take place in the beautiful city of s’Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, 16-19 October. The biannual conference of INGID is the major event for the group as it is the time when members can meet, exchange information, learn what is going on in within the field of immunodeficiencies in other countries and centres, find out about new therapies and treatments, and, of course, relax and have fun along with other members of INGID from all over the world. This eNewsletter also contains the first draft programme, and you will see how much time we are giving for members’ presentations, as well as for invited speakers.
The conference, along with the ESID and INGID conferences will take place in the Theater aan de Parade.

Abstracts:
What you are doing will be of interest to others, so do submit an abstract for either an oral presentation or a poster presentation.
This time, we are attempting to have theme days, and therefore particularly ask for abstracts looking at:
- New therapies and treatments
- Physical care
- Psychosocial care
However, abstracts on other aspects of the care of people with immunodeficiencies will be very welcome as well.
Please note that the last date for the submission of abstracts is June 1st. 2008. That date is very close3, so, again we do urge you to submit an abstract. This is your conference and we want you to make it a success.

You will see from the programme that this time we have included several shared sessions with IPOIPI and ESID. This will give us all a chance to meet with and discuss with patients, patients’ families, doctors and other professionals.
However, do remember that the success or otherwise of the conference depends upon you, the members, whether you are presenting or not, so please do put your ‘thinking caps’ on and submit an abstract.
Abstracts can be submitted via the conference link:
http://www.esid2008.org/
If you want further advice as to how to submit an abstract, or if you are not sure if what you want to submit is suitable – although we are sure it will be, then please do contact one of the Board members (contact details are to be found on the INGID website (where there is also a link to the main conference web site). Because all presentations are in English, If you have any concerns as to whether your English is good enough, do not worry - submit your abstract anyway, as we will help you with the English.
