Dear Friends,

We invite you to attend the 3rd Congress of the Society of Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis in Istanbul. We organized a very special and unusual scientific program for you with the collaboration of International Pelvic Pain Society (IPPS) and Convergences PP. The congress will offer a series of diverse continuing education courses and workshops in the applications of pelvic pain and endometriosis. The program activities shall be led by experts and distinguished speakers from different leading institutions worldwide. Our prospective audience includes physicians, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals.

The venue, city of Istanbul stands on a triangular peninsula between Europa and and Asia as a bridge. Istanbul for more than 2,500 years has stood between conflicting surges of religion, culture, and imperial power. For most of those years it was one of the most desiredcities in the world. This transcontinental metropolis is a fast-paced cultural melting pot you can’t afford to miss. Istanbul has it all over culture and traditions, amazing landmarks and vibrant nightlife. There is no shortage of breathtaking views from the city including the venue, Hyatt Regency Atakoy Hotel which is offering rooms with panoramic views of the city. The hotel is at the edge of the Marmara Sea, within easy access to underground station and conveniently located only seven km from the airport. The century old mix of cultures also had a huge impact on the food scene, too. In Istanbul, you can enjoy different cuisines, varying from authentic and typical Turkish food to the modern kitchen of the West. You can go luxurious and mainstream by a visit to one of the many modern shopping centers or you can hunt for authentic, handmade items by local designers.

This event aims to provide participants working with the faculties maintaining cutting-edge knowledge and skills in their fields including gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, algology, psyhciatry, physiotherapy and other related disciplines. More importantly, we are aiming to promote pelvic pain and its education, practice and advancement in the region as we did in our past meetings. Abstracts are invited in poster presentation formats. In this conference, we will have online submissions and online registrations, managed by a professional company. Please check the website for abstract submission details, including deadline for submissions.The congress will also include scientific exhibition, where leading companies will display state-of-the-art products that have found clinical acceptance with particular relevance to the delivery of quality patient care. There will also be a number of social events and tours during and after the congress.
