Tourism Vancouver and the Vancouver Convention Centre have announced that Vancouver has been selected as the host city for three prestigious medical conferences taking place in 2015.
All three conventions resulted from the leadership and dedication demonstrated by influential Vancouverites who worked with Tourism Vancouvers Be A Host program to bring their associations meetings to the city. The latest batch of successful bid proposals include: 1) World Congress of Dermatology. The worlds largest international gathering of dermatologists will meet in Vancouver in June of 2015. 2) International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (ISCBFM). In late June 2015, approximately 1,000 delegates will travel to Vancouver for the ISCBFMs 26th symposium. 3) International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) World Congress. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada proposed a bid to host the FIGO World Congress in Vancouver during their 2006 meeting in the city.
