A scientific meeting in a safe framework to share knowledge

Santo Domingo, February 14, 2022

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are less than three months away from the start of our SLEIMPN 2022 Congress, to be held from May 4 to 7 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, within the framework of the scenic beauty and the facilities of one of the most beautiful, exclusive and frequented from all over the Caribbean.

We are pleased to restate that we have a high-level scientific program based on two pre-congress courses: one on Newborn Screening, organized by the International Society for Neonatal Screening (ISNS), and another on Nutrition. In the Congress itself, we´ll benefit from plenary sessions, simultaneous sessions, oral presentations and posters related to Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Newborn Screening - with excellent speakers.

During the conferences, we will have simultaneous translation from English to Spanish and vice versa.

For the occasion, approximately 200 scientific papers were received from Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic); North America (United States) and Europe (Austria, Spain and Italy).

We will also have satellite symposiums at industry-sponsored breakfasts and luncheons throughout Congress.

Take advantage of the early registration offers and ensure accommodation under the "all inclusive" modality that embraces, in the price of the room, all the food, including the closing dinner.

The biosafety regulations implemented in the International Convention Center (ICC), where our meeting will be held, have given successful results in multiple international events held there since mid-2021. In specific terms, participants will be asked for a vaccination card issued in their respective countries of origin or a recent test of undetected Covid-19. At the time of departure, there will be qualified technical personnel on site to guarantee eventual compliance with the requirements demanded by the countries of origin.

We count on each and all of you, confident and enthusiastic about the success that our SLEIMPN 2022 Congress promises to have under the motto of:

Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Newborn Screening IN THE ERA OF OMICAS.
