WCN 2005 SYDNEY – AN ALLURING DESTINATION

London WCN 2001 was an outstanding Congress not only in terms of venue and attendance, but importantly in terms of the excellence of the scientific component. The Australian Association of Neurologists acknowledges the challenge and importance of ensuring a successful, well-attended meeting. A World Congress provides delegates with the opportunity to establish and build international contacts and keep abreast of international research and we have undertaken to provide a Congress that will be accessible to neurologists from all over the World.

Having been awarded the honour of hosting a World Congress, the Australian Association of Neurologists has been given a unique opportunity to provide a forum to showcase Australia’s neurological expertise and we will ensure delegates experience a rewarding Congress in terms of educational and scientific component. Sydney itself is an exciting, cosmopolitan destination with a range of distinct and diverse characteristics. From the historic Rocks precinct with heritage buildings amidst a maze of cobblestone streets, unique shops and stunning range of harbour- side restaurants, to Darling Harbour with its extensive range of visitor experiences. Realizing that this is a rare opportunity for many people to visit Australia, the Sydney WCN 2005 will offer an enticing social and accompanying persons programme together with exciting pre and post Congress tours, to enable delegates and their partners/families to maximize their enjoyment of Sydney and Australia.
