Dear Colleagues,


It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in Dystonia-Europe 2008 to be held from

October 17 - 19, 2008 at the Congress Center in Hamburg, Germany.


This will be the first large-scale conference solely on dystonia held in Europe for more than a decade. It is intended to provide a forum for discussion of the latest developments in clinical features, treatment and research of dystonia, with presentations from a broad range of leading experts from Europe and North America.

This conference will be the ideal place to meet colleagues, increase and share knowledge of dystonia and actively participate in discussions and workshops on interesting topics.

Hamburg is one of the biggest cities in Germany, well known for its harbour and the River Elbe, the beautiful Alster Lake in the middle of the city, lovely old buildings and of course the famous Reeperbahn. The Congress Venue is situated in the centre of Hamburg, close to all public transport links.

We hope you will be able to participate in Dystonia-Europe 2008 and enjoy what promises to be an outstanding scientific meeting.
