BREAKING NEWS: FROM LONDON TO MONTREAL
The Annual International Conference has become one of the cornerstones of ICAA’s work with addictive behaviours worldwide. However, whilst an excellent scientific programme had been developed and an enviable roster of world-class speakers recruited to deliver the 2011 Programme in London, England, the Board has decided, after extensive consideration, to delay the holding of the conference until the Congress to be held in Montreal in 2012. Low preliminary registrations, severe economic challenges in many of the countries that traditionally provide the delegates, and the uncertainties and concerns relating to personal safety in the current international environment have all contributed to this decision which, whilst disappointing for all of our friends and supporters, was the only prudent course of action. Although the event in Montreal is expected to be a much larger event with a broad spectrum programme, the Board is determined that the excellent programme designed for London should not be lost and it will therefore be rolled-over to provide the core of the Montreal event. Supported by the Montreal Conference Centre and Tourism Montreal, and underpinned by the resources and energy of the hosts, Portage and Educ’Alcool, the 2012 International Conference will be a truly world-class event located in the exciting and charming city of Montreal and we look forward to seeing you there. Warm regards, Dr Peter A. Vamos, President
