Welcome to Australasian College of Phlebology

12th Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshops

Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise
Gold Coast, Queensland

6 - 11 September 2008

DVDs for the Basic Course, Advanced Course and the Scientific Program are now available from Leon Olsen at Conference Matters: leon@conferencematters.co.nz or +6421 164-3815.

The Annual Scientific Meeting on the Gold Coast may be over but the buzz still lingers on, with the unarguable highlight of the 6 days being the Annual Conferring Ceremony. Held on 9^th September at the breathtaking Customs House (University of Queensland) on the banks of the Brisbane River, the weather was balmy, the dresses and gowns were spectacular, and the dancing was unprecedented. Who could ask for more? Special recognition must go out to all our Award recipients and newly-instated College Fellows. Congratulations and Welcome to our College.

From all of us here at the Australasian College of Phlebology, we do hope you had a memorable time and we hope to see you again for the 13^th Annual Scientific Meeting in 2009.
