11th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

It gives us great pleasure to host the 11th World Congress of Endoscopic Surgery in
Yokohama, Japan, from September 2 to 5, 2008 which is in conjunction with the 21st
Annual Meeting of Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) and is incorporated
with Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia 2008 (ELSA). On behalf of the
organizing committee, we welcome each and every one of you to this great event which
provides an excellent opportunity to share the advanced skills and knowledge in the
field of endoscopic surgery.

At the congress, we hope that all participants will capture the important changes and
further progress in the development of minimally invasive surgery for cancer, obesity,
etc. We are sure that there will be a wealth of important new information and
knowledge for young fellows to obtain from the many senior experts from all over the
world in this meeting.

With a population of over 3.6 million people, Yokohama is the second largest city in
Japan. It is located less than 30 minutes south of Tokyo. Yokohama is the city capable
of offering warm hospitality with the international flavor, which comes from its history
as a port. It is one of the first Japanese ports to be opened for foreign trade, and has a
good access to Mt. Fuji, Kyoto and many other places of interests. In Yokohama, you
can also have a good selection of Japanese seafood and Chinese cuisines from the city's
Chinatown, one of the world's largest.

We very much look forward to meeting you in Yokohama for this special occasion. The
fulfillment of your expectation in academic exchange and social interaction is
guaranteed.
