Exhibitors - AGES

Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of The International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy
(ISGE), it is with great pleasure and humility that we welcome you to
the 19th Annual Congress of the ISGE, held jointly and in
conjunction with XX Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian
Gynecological Endoscopy and Surgical Society (AGES). With a
spectacular world class city, Sydney as the backdrop, we excitedly
await this important exchange of scientific information as presented
by our Australian, New Zealand, and international faculty, as we
explore the theme of this extraordinary educational enclave,
“Gynecological Endoscopy: Has it Come of Age?”
We our certain that our ambitious scientific program will be
invaluable to all, as together we evaluate the roll of minimally
invasive gynecologic surgery – where we have been, where we
presently reside, and where we will be in the future. It is this keen
vision toward the future, gleaned from the evidence of over a
quarter century of experience, as well as the unique collegiality, a
hallmark of our two internationally revered societies, that is certain
to make this more than an international meeting; rather, an
academic experience.
So, once again, welcome one and all. We trust you will enjoy the
fruit of joint efforts. Please do not hesitate to say “Hi or Buongiorno”.
Cordially,
Prof. Stefano Bettocchi Dr Charles E. Miller
President, ISGE Vice President, ISGE
Dear Colleagues
On behalf of Australasian Gynecological Endoscopy and Surgical
Society (AGES) and the International Society of Gynaecologic
Endoscopy (ISGE) it is our privilege to welcome our International and
Australian colleagues to the combined ISGE 19th Annual Congress
in conjunction with the AGES XX Annual Scientific Meeting.
We are delighted to co-host such an exciting meeting, and
honoured to host an extensive expert international and
national faculty.
The program consists of two concurrent sessions, two plenary
lectures each day, free communications and ending the day with
the controversial topic of the day. These sessions have been
designed to stimulate, excite and encourage interaction and
discussion.
Both these societies have long been recognised for their
commitment and leadership in minimally invasive gynaecologic
surgery. We hope you all enjoy the delights of Sydney, some
unforgettable Australian hospitality and most importantly a truly
international program.
