New date for Karolinska Stroke Update meeting: 14-16 November 2010!
The date for the Karolinska Stroke Update meeting 2010 has been moved from April to November. The reason for this is that the integration of the preparation of the guidelines needs more time and that there is a wish to consider new data presented at the ESC meeting in Barcelona in May.
We hope that you can join in November and apologise for any inconvenience by the change of date.
The meeting in November will be extremely exciting. A preliminary programme will be presented within the near future.
Mark these dates in your diary !
