Collaboration
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing and scientific commit-tee, it is my great pleasure and honor to invite you to attend the 12th Asian Congress of Neurological sur-geons Conference to be held in Dubai in 2018.This will inaugurate the first ACNS Conference to be held in this region of Asia. This comprehensive Inter-national academic endeavor will focus on teaching and education of young neurosurgeons toward ex-cellence in patient care with the moto “inspiration & innovation”. It will encompass special lectures by distinguished guest speakers, panel discussion, workshops, and video sessions among other scientific activities that will infuse the contributions of young neurosur-geons with a focus on multidisciplinary approaches and contemporary evidence-based clinical practice. A special session as part of our soci-ety’s mission and vision will be dedicated to female & young neurosur-geons pertaining to the quality of training and education.I am proud of and honored by the global collaboration with leading soci-eties and organizations. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for their anticipated profound scientific contributions.The conference will be complemented by a state-of-the art exhibition and sponsored by leading companies in the field of medical and surgical technology. Dubai is a cosmopolitan, vibrant city and it was nominated to host “Expo 2020”. It offers an excellent milieu for academic inspiration and an attrac-tive social program for the families. The region offers a unique opportuni-ty to appreciate the fusion of mystic history and modernization.
