Over the past few months, there has been a lot of hard work behind the scenes in planning for Harm Reduction 2009 – www.ihraconferences.net<http://www.ihraconferences.net/> – and the Conference Director, Professor Gerry Stimson, has written an open letter to everyone interested in the event in order to update our colleagues on some of the significant developments.
In particular, the conference will now be held at the Imperial Queen’s Park Hotel (which was already the official conference accommodation) over four full days - Monday 20th April –Thursday 23rd April.
The open letter also includes information about the conference programme (for which we have received around 900 abstracts from around the world), translation services, scholarships, the conference price, the on-going advocacy work that is taking place around the event, and the medical and harm reduction services that we hope to provide for all of our delegates – especially those that are actively using drugs.
Overall, Harm Reduction 2009 is shaping up to be an excellent, landmark conference for harm reduction in Thailand, across South-East Asia and internationally. IHRA, the Conference Consortium and our Conference Partners look forward to welcoming you next April in Bangkok.
Please visit www.ihra.net/Thailand/News<http://www.ihra.net/Thailand/News> to view the open letter from Professor Gerry Stimson.
