IASP 2020 World Congress on Pain is quickly approaching. COVID-19 has posed a challenge for many events; however, IASP remains fully committed to hosting the 2020 World Congress as planned. Although the timing of this virus is not ideal, I encourage you to dig deep into the value Congress offers through the numerous sessions, global professional attendees, and more. We continue to plan for this exciting event and to ensure pertinent measures will be in place.

Additionally, the early registration deadline for World Congress has been extended to 1 May 2020, granting you the opportunity to not only save on registration, but to prepare and plan for your trip to join us in Amsterdam. IASP offers several tools to make this process easier for you.

If you are a working professional or student with limited resources, you may be wondering how you can justify your attendance at Congress. IASP offers a justification toolkit – a free resource to help you articulate the value of your attendance to your supervisor. The toolkit includes tips, templates, and worksheets to help you build a compelling case.

The Congress itinerary planner is another valuable tool that provides a detailed look at the full program schedule, allowing you to search specific events with filters by description, session type, topic, and more, and build a customized itinerary planner. This planner is the perfect tool to explore all the great sessions offered and pinpoint those that would benefit you and your career most.

Finally, as you begin preparing your trip to join us in August in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, please review our warning message to protect yourself from potential phishing attempts and scams.

See you in Amsterdam!
