Invitation from the President of IFCC

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) it gives me great pleasure to invite you to participate in EuroMedLab Milano 2013. Whether you work in a hospital, a university, in private practice or in the diagnostics industry EuroMedLab in Milano will be the place to be from May 19-23 2013.
This will be a special conference held in a brand new congress centre in the wonderful city of Milano. It is an opportunity to blend excellent science and clinical medicine with history and culture whilst renewing or making new friends and colleagues.
The Congress Organising Committee, under the chairmanship of Professor Mauro Panteghini, is already at an advanced stage. I am certain that Mauro and his team will do an outstanding job in delivering a programme of high quality and interest containing innovative ideas and of direct relevance to modern clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. The accompanying industrial exhibition will provide information and advice on the most up to date equipment, diagnostics, informatics and professional practice.
These are exciting times in the world of laboratory medicine. It is now recognised that laboratory medicine data contributes to ~70% of all clinical decisions. Therefore, laboratory medicine specialists and the diagnostics industry have a responsibility to work together to convert data into knowledge which can be used to add value to the investigation of patients.
EuroMedLab Milano 2013 will be the perfect place to acquire knowledge and learn how to use it to maximum patient benefit.

I look forward to seeing you in Milano

Yours sincerely
Graham H Beastall
IFCC President

Invitation from the President of EFCC

Dear colleagues,
I extend an invitation to you to participate in Euromedlab 2013. The European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFCC) are delighted to be associated with the city of Milan, capital of the region of Lombardy, with its rich history pre-dating the Romans right up to the present day as a recognised city of fashion and design. Clearly this will be a wonderful opportunity to visit or renew acquaintance with one of Italy's main cities.
We plan a high quality, broad spectrum scientific programme which, allied with the attractions of Milan, will make this a great opportunity for attendees to nurture not only their scientific but their cultural development. Of course there is the opportunity to renew old acquaintances, make new ones and together help to develop our common interest in advancing the specialty of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.
This will be yet another memorable Euromedlab meeting and enhanced by the undoubted attractions of Milan.

Ian D. Watson
EFCC President

Invitation from the President of SIBioC

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (Società Italiana di Biochimica Clinica e Biologia Molecolare Clinica SIBioC) it is a great pleasure to invite you in joining us at the 20th European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EuroMedLab) that will be held in Milano, Italy, on 19-23 May 2013.
The Congress Organising Committee is under the chairmanship of Professor Mauro Panteghini and a scientific program of high quality and interest  and scientific success is assured.
This event  is a important opportunity for all laboratory medicine professionals to meet and to share their knowledge, their ideas and their questions  with colleagues from all over the world.
I believe that this will be also an extraordinary occasion for young scientists to present their novel and stimulating investigations.
EuroMedLab  Milano 2013 is a event  not to be missed!!
Arrivederci a Milano
