The 27th annual meeting of the International Society of Blood Purification will take place at the Clarion Hotel Sign- the largest and most modern hotel in beautiful Stockholm- close to the central station, Old City and shopping areas.

 

The program includes a series of innovative and clinically relevant symposia and invited lectures, as well as free communications and posters.

 

This meeting provides an update on relevant issues for nephrologists and researchers in the field of dialysis and CKD, and other conditions requiring blood purification therapies

 

This meeting has a unique and personal format which allows adequate time for discussions and interactions between researchers.

 

The attractive social program includes wine and cheese poster reception, special reception at the City Hall of Stockholm, and more.
