BREAKING NEWS : JOIN US IN MONTREAL
The 54th International Conference on Alcohol and Addiction will take place in Montreal, Canada between the 12th and the 15th of November 2012 and will be one of the most exciting ICAA events yet delivered. Addressed by some forty speakers of the highest international standing the Montreal Conference will deliver an unrivalled scientific programme of interest to policy makers, researchers and practitioners alike. The opportunity to share good practices and new thinking in a truly international and multi-disciplinary setting is rare. ICAA is committed to meeting this need and, as ever, we invite attendees to submit abstracts of papers to be presented in the ICAA Sections’seminars, workshops and major sessions. Of particular interest this year is the progress being made in implementing the World Health Organisation’s Global Alcohol Policy. ICAA has been asked to take a leading role in co-ordinating the response of NGO’s and in order to move forward we will be running a Plenary Session and associated seminal events around this challenging topic. The financial stability provided by the generosity of the Montreal Conference Centre and Tourism Montreal, as well as the resources and energy of the hosts, Portage and Educ’Alcool will provide the platform for a truly world-class event. Oh yes, we have one more secret ingredient – the excitement and charm of beautiful Montreal. Unique in North America, a visit to Montreal is a joyous and enriching experience. If you can only attend one conference in 2012, make sure it is the one in Montreal. Warm regards, Dr Peter A. Vamos, President, ICAA
