Dear friends and colleagues,

We are delighted to provide you with preliminary details of the 5th Annual Meeting of Korean Neuroendocrine Study Group (KNSG) in conjunction with Pituitary Expert Meeting in Asia (PEMA) and the 1st International Neuroendocrine Federation Symposium (INF) Asian Meeting which will take place in the beautiful island of Jeju, Korea.It is a very great pleasure to be hosting this prestigious joint meeting which we hope will enable us to discuss the latest advances in neuroendocrinology and will also provide an opportunity for participants to meet and network with colleagues from across the globe.

Our joint programs in this year promises to be challenging and stimulating as we consider key topics of interest and concern. Lectures and workshops will be presented by a group of distinguished international speakers who will cover a range of topical and relevant issues which affect us all from the laboratory to the clinic.

The first day will be composed of two satellite meetings introducing the latest update of somatostatin analogues by two foreign speakers, followed by the welcome dinner. The second day will host two plenary lectures by prof. Robert Miller, the president of INF and prof.AnnamariaColao from Italy. Also there will be nine symposia encompassing both basic and clinical aspects of neuroendocrinology, and poster sessions during the lunch time. The last day will be composed of CME sessions of the KNSG.

Attending the 5th Annual Meeting of KNSG will give you also the opportunity to learn more about Jeju.With easy to access dormant volcanoes, hearty seaside fare and hiking trails (“olle”) that redefine contemporary notions of exploration, Jeju will offer you the modern day adventure with challenge, delight and cause to reflect.

We invite you to actively participate and to submit your abstract.

See you in Jeju!
