On behalf of the Paediatric Rheumatology European Society, as well as the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee, I would kindly like to invite you at the 24th European Paediatric Rheumatology Congress (PReS 2017), which will be held from September 14th to September 17th 2017 in Athens, Greece. The Congress will take place at the Megaron Athens International Conference Center (MAICC), located at the heart of the city of Athens, just minutes away from its historic center.

Continuing the successful trend of past Congresses, the PReS 2017 Congress will feature presentations of some of the most recent research and trials, and robust debates on the clinical challenges paediatric rheumatologists face today, whilst we are expecting practice-changing abstracts and timely data to be presented. Moreover, the Congress will provide unique opportunities to network with leadership in Paediatric Rheumatology and enjoy enlightened and innovative learning experiences that highlight the most up-to-date, evidence-based developments in the field!

Athens is a metropolitan city that combines both the old and the modern, the spirit of future with the treasures of the past. Its many historical and physical attractions and close proximity to breathtaking surroundings, the appropriate infrastructure and world-class facilities will contribute to a successful outcome. The local organization team is fully motivated and actively at work to create a lively event that will offer an unforgettable experience for all participants.

Please mark your calendars and save the date for September 14-17, 2017!
