Dear Sir/Madam,

We are pleased to inform you that the "Third International Joint Meeting on Thoracic Surgery, Barcelona 2015" will be held on 18th, 19th and 20th November 2015 in this city. The rewarding experience of the [ First ] and [ Second ] International Joint Meetings on Thoracic Surgery held in the same city in 2009 and 2012 encourages all of us to work together once again with the purpose of celebrating the third edition in 2015.

This "Joint Meeting" is the combination of three initiatives that have been developed over recent years here in Spain. The intention is to bring together, in one conference, the latest information about the key topics, and the most controversial ones, in our speciality. The three initiatives are: the "8th International Meeting on General Thoracic Surgery", which, since 1992, has been organised by the Thoracic Surgery Department at the Hospital Sagrat Cor; the "7th International Workshop on Surgical Exploration of the Mediastinum and Systematic Nodal Dissection", organised by the Thoracic Surgery Department at the Hosptial Universitari Mútua Terrassa; the "2nd Scientific Meeting of the Thoracic Oncology, Thoracic Surgery and Techniques & Transplant Areas of the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR)". In 2015 we will have a new partner: the Ibero-American Association for Thoracic Surgery (Asociación Iberoamericana de Cirugía Torácica, AIACT) who will organize its 23rd annual meeting.

We are very aware that without your participation in the conference, it would be very difficult for this scientific event to take place. Therefore, we would very much like the event to fulfil your expectations and meet your requirements.

As you will see below, we are open to lots of different options of working together, ranging from the traditional exhibition stand to organising a lunch seminar for between 50-60 delegates where companies can present their latest technological advances. Naturally, financing the attendance of professionals at the Joint Meeting suits both companies such as yours and the organising committee, which believes this is the best way to ensure the event is a success and to cultivate personal relationships.

We hope you will find the scientific programme and the guest speakers a strong incentive to participate in the 2015 Joint Meeting.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or comments. We would also be happy to discuss tailor-made proposals of working together that are not outlined above or in the attached information.
