Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to announce the 2010 Congress of the International Foot
and Ankle Biomechanics Community (i-FAB) which will be held at the
University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA between September
16-18, 2010.

Details of the Congress can be found at http://www.i-FAB2010.org

The Congress program will include lab tours, commercial exhibits,
workshops, tutorials, keynote and invited addresses, extensive poster
presentations, and opportunities to network with other professionals in
the field. Activities on Thursday September 16th will be focused on
clinical foot and ankle topics including a total ankle replacement
workshop, clinically oriented keynotes, and free communications. Topics
on Friday and Saturday will include modeling, cadaveric simulation,
evolution and non-human primate feet, the diabetic foot, foot and ankle
imaging, footwear, and kinematics. Full details of the Congress program
can be found here:

A social program for accompanying persons is being planned that will
include tours and activities in and around the greater Seattle area.

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.

Josh:

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!

 

Looks good. Hope to see you there. :drinks

 

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:

 

Simon:

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