OMERACT 10 will be held at the beautiful 400 hectare Shangri-La resort in Borneo, Malaysia.
4 - 8 May 2010
Since the first OMERACT was held in The Netherlands in 1992, we have circled the globe nine times and achieved immeasurable successes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the OMERACTers, for making OMERACT such a great success over the past 18 years and we look forward to this conference being as productive and creative as past OMERACT Conferences.
OMERACT 10 starts a day earlier than in previous years on Tuesday 4 May 2010
Sharp Memorial Symposium
In tribute to John Sharp who passed away shortly after OMERACT 9, we have arranged to start proceedings with a half day symposium in his memory dedicated to Biomarkers and Imaging.
The Welcome Dinner on Tuesday is followed by a number of important Special Interest Groups (SIG).
As usual, the rest of the programme is packed with fully interactive sessions covering: The Patient Perspective, Responder indices – Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia –and other OMERACT initiatives including: Remission in RA, Gout, Vasculitis, and Flares in RA.
The Rasa Ria Resort, located in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, is situated on 40 acres of lush tropical vegetation and unspoilt beaches. We believe that this beautiful secluded meeting spot in Kota Kinabalu will provide the perfect atmosphere for the collegial, interactive atmosphere that has been unique to OMERACT from its inception.
We hope that you will be able to attend OMERACT 10 in 2010 and look forward to the lively discussions that have characterized previous OMERACTs!
We look forward to seeing you at OMERACT 10!
