On behalf of the Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology (APSN), it is indeed my pleasure to invite you to the 12th Asian Pacific Congress of Nephrology (APCN), to be held in Seoul on June 5-8, 2010.

Under the leadership of APCN2010 Congress President, Professor Ho Yung LEE and the Korean Society of Nephrology, the 12th APCN promises an outstanding scientific program which will provide a comprehensive coverage of topics in both clinical and basic nephrology. The plenary lectures and symposia will be complemented and enriched by free communications and poster presentations.

To encourage participation and quality presentations, the APSN and APCN2010 Organizing Committee have established a good number of Best Abstract Awards and Travel Grants.

The former will be selected from the submitted abstracts while the latter are available for application through the APCN2010 Secretariat by members of APSN. I would like to take this opportunity to pledge your continued support to the APSN, which is indeed our society of Nephrology in the Asian Pacific region. Membership application form is downloadable from the APSN website at www.apsneph.org.

I look forward to meeting you in the vibrant city of Seoul, and to savouring, amidst the exciting Korean culture and food, the advances in nephrology at the 12th APCN.
