Annual Congress: After a very successful congress in Las Vegas, we are thrilled to announce that our next annual congress will be held in Kagoshima, Japan, from May 27 – 29, 2025. We will be hosting the congress at the beautiful Shiroyama Hotel kagoshima.

We are actively developing the program and welcome your suggestions and contributions.
