11th World Congress on Pain®

August 21-26, 2005
Sydney, Australia

The 11th World Congress on Pain, held August 21-26, 2005 in Sydney, Australia, was an unqualified success. Over 4,500 scientific delegates registered; when exhibitors, guests, and staff are counted, over 5,100 registrants from more than 90 countries enjoyed the formal presentations, the informal discussions, and the fun which are found in abundance at IASP Congresses. The scientific program comprised 16 refresher courses, 20 plenary lectures, 84 workshops and over 1700 poster presentations.

The content of these scientific sessions was universally praised: IASP thanked the Scientific Program Committee chair, Herta Flor, and all who served with her for their highly successful efforts. The social aspects and the audio-visual components under the supervision of Geoff Gourlay and his Local Action Committee were equally and deservedly lauded.

Congress Abstract Book and Proceedings Book:
The abstract book, Abstracts: 11th World Congress on Pain, and The Proceedings of the 11th World Congress on Pain are all available for purchase through IASP Press. All registered Congress delegates received copies of these books as part of their registration.
