Dear Colleagues and Friends,

At last we have the privilege to invite you to the 11th SASUOG congress to be held at Ilanga Estate, Bloemfontein from the 7th to the 9th of May 2010, a month before soccer mania hits South Africa.

The name Ilanga means "sunshine" in Xhosa, true to its name you will enjoy the same radiant warmth and hospitality from us. Ilanga Estate has been created in the response to the need for a stylish venue with excellent service. Ilanga Estate is situated to the north of Bloemfontein (approximately 10 minutes drive from the city centre of Bloemfontein) on a tranquil estate with beautiful gardens and an exquisite ambience.

A variety of 4 star and 5 star hotels in Bloemfontein have been booked for the Congress, all within a 10 minute drive from Ilanga Estate. A complimentary shuttle service will be available between these hotels and Ilanga Estate. As usual the pre-congress workshop will be held on Thursday the 6th of May, the day before the congress starts. This workshop will be held at Universitas hospital.

The theme of the congress is “Ultrasound: art in practice” This was chosen to convey the art and expertise needed in ultrasound imaging. As part of this theme we are planning art exhibitions at the venue during the congress.

With the scientific program we will cover not only advanced ultrasound but also the basics. Three International speakers Yves Ville, Lou Pistorius and Nick Fenning will share their knowledge on a variety of topics in Obstetrics and Gynaecological ultrasound.

The organising committee invite you to the heart of the Free State to come and enjoy what we hope will be a memorable and learning occasion for you as our guests.

Dr Francois Cilliers

Convenor
