Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As President of the Latin American Thyroid Society (LATS) I want to invite you to join our next XVII LATS Congress.
This meeting will take place in June 20-23rd, 2019 in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. In this congress, you will be able to learn all updates on the thyroid field taught by the most relevant researchers in LATS as well as by our Guest Key note speakers from Europe and USA.
Our intention is to gather more than 1000 colleagues from all our Latin American countries interested in the thyroid research and let them get to know each other and discuss their opinions about the information gained throughout the congress.
In the name of LATS, I am really looking forward to host you in my beautiful city in 2019."
Sincerely
Gabriela Brenta
