The FIP World Congress of Podiatry is coming to Amsterdam ! 

Every three years FIP, the Fédération Internationale des Podologues (the International Federation of Podiatrists) together with a member country organise the World Congress of Podiatry  a congress acknowledging the state of the art in foot care, treatment of foot problems and evidence based podiatry. In 2010 the XXth World Congress will take place from May 13 - 15 at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The FIP World Congress is by far the most important meeting of its kind. The Dutch Podiatry Association (NVvP) and the board of FIP expect to welcome not only many podiatrists from all 26 member countries, but also doctors, nurses and other professionals interested in the field of feet and shoes. We expect to meet 800-1000 participants at this World Congress.  

Worldwide, podiatrists are involved in scientific research concerning the diagnosis and treatment of foot problems. The complexity of foot pathology is a challenge for all professionals and for scientists in particular. The XXth World Congress of Podiatry will bring together representatives from all specialist and scientific areas involved in both diagnosis and treatment of people with foot problems. The 3-day Congress will feature topics varying from basic research to daily clinical practice. Through state-of-the-art and general lectures, oral and poster presentations of submitted abstracts, case studies, workshops, and meet-the-professor sessions, almost every aspect of foot pathology and foot care will be addressed.  

The Dutch Podiatry Association (NVvP) is proud of being your host for the 20th FIP World Congress of Podiatry and cordially invites you to participate.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam for an unforgettable congress!
