2 The organization of an International Congress is a complex process, very demanding in terms of time and costs. This has certainly been the situation for all organizers in the close to 25 years of history of this conference. Trying to find the right time, the adequate space and the most convenient financial and organizational arrangements requires plenty of negotiations, accommodations, and flexibility. All in all we are moving along to have a successful meeting. Nevertheless, we would have liked to have details on registration more promptly and we apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. DATES AND LOCATION The Congress will take place on August 2016 at the Sol de Oro Hotel in Miraflores, Lima ( Our venue is a 5 star hotel with prime spaces for the meeting. Moreover, its location facilitates transportation, saving time and concerns about Lima s traffic. Security has also been an important factor in making this choice. Participants can stay in this hotel with promotional rates, and there are many other choices in the vicinity. The workshops will take place on Saturday 13 at Casa O Higgins a museum of the Catholic University (PUCP) ( in downtown Lima (Jirón de la Unión 554). We are organizing visits in the surrounding areas so you can also enjoy this historical part of Lima. PRESENTATIONS Twenty-two symposia have been accepted for the program (list in English will be the official language of the meeting. We are organizing the availability of simultaneous interpretation for a fee. There are two types of presentations: Symposia: Composed of four to eight fifteen minute podium presentations. Each symposium will present studies on a specific theme. The time to propose symposia has now passed. Acceptance of the symposium proposal does not guarantee acceptance of individual abstracts that will be subject to submission deadlines and review as all other presentations. Posters: Comprised of communications on study cases, novel techniques and methodologies, diagnostic criteria or ongoing research. Each participant may deliver up to two papers as first author either as podium or poster presentations. To be included in the program each symposium needs a minimum of four accepted presentations. Otherwise the papers accepted will be included in the free topic session.

3 REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES Early registration fees can be paid until 15 January: US$150 for professionals and the general public, US$70 for students. After this date, the fees will be US$ for professionals and the general public, and US$100 for students. The collection of fees has been one of the most complicated issues to organize. We have tried to keep fees at a minimum and this requires a minimum cost for transfer and bank fees at both ends. We have found payment through VISA as the most convenient for international transfers. If you are in Peru please go to the web page of the congress, complete and send the registration form and deposit or transfer your fee in US dollars to the account of Centro Mallqui at Banco de Credito ( A sales ticket (boleta) or invoice (factura) will be made upon your request.

It should be legible from a distance of 150cm (5 feet) away. At the top it should have a space of 15 cm height up to 90 cm long for the title, authors and affiliations. Provided the time required is available and considering security concerns at airports, it might be more convenient to print the poster in Lima. We will have suggestions for this alternative.
