    i-FAB (www.i-fab.org) is an international community of clinicians and
    researchers who are interested in the biomechanics of the foot and
    ankle. i-FAB was organized in 2007 to improve the understanding of foot
    and ankle biomechanics, surgery, and footwear, and to foster greater
    integration among researchers, clinicians, and industry representatives.
    The 1st Congress, held at the Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna,
    Italy in September 2008, attracted 170 delegates from all over the
    world.

    We hope that you will join us in Seattle in September 2010.

    Thanks for the notice on the i-FAB conference in Seattle. I'll definitely be there. Erin Ward, DPM, told me that the first i-FAB conference last year was excellent. See you in Seattle next year!
     
  3. Looks good. Hope to see you there. :drinks
     
  4. Doh:bang: I'm going to see U2 in Paris on the 18th Sept. Alison, just said "sell the tickets for U2" Is she completely mad?

    Looks like an exceptionally good conference. :boohoo:
     
  5. Simon:

    Alison obviously understands that Paul Hewson just can't fly paper airplanes like some of the rest of us can.:rolleyes:
