JTB Continues to Support the WFNS as the Bidding Day Approaches
As the bidding day approaches to select the hosting country to the 15th International Congress of the World Federation of Neurological Societies, JTB sponsors with a final pitch the Congress of Neurological Surgeons by hosting a Jordan Evening in San Diego.
As a support to WFNS Bidding Committee, lead by Dr. Ibrahim Sbeih’s efforts, President of the Committee, the JTB in cooperation with the Royal Hashemite Court, organized a unique Jordan Evening to have a powerful pitch in support of Jordan’s bid.
The CNS will take place in San Diego between the 15th-20th of September, and the Jordan Evening, which will be held on the 16th, will include a live Jordanian performance organized in cooperation with the National Music Conservatory and sponsored by Al Hikma pharmaceuticals, as well as a special presentation and speech by H.E. Senator Akel Biltaji.
In its bid to enhance the position of Jordan as a leading Middle Eastern player in health care management and delivery, the Society of Jordanian Neurosurgeons in association with the Pan Arab Neurosurgical Society are bidding to host the WFNS (World Federation of Neurological Surgeons) meeting in 2013.
This meeting which is attended by around 3000 neurosurgeons from all over the world is the main forum for discussing new advances in neurosurgery. It is held every 4 years in a location that is worthy of the occasion and has all the facilities to support such a grand conference. Previous destinations have been Amsterdam, Sydney, Marrakesh with the 2009 event to be held in Boston. The bid is receiving strong support internationally, and the voting will take place in November 2007.
After San Diego, our pitch will be four meetings away from the voting day. Dr. Sbeih will showcase Jordan in different events in Belgium, Romania, and India. In addition to these meetings the JTB will cooperate with the WFNS Bidding Committee to host some of the leading surgeons from around the globe on an inspection trip to Jordan.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Jordan Tourism Board are putting great efforts into supporting the bid with the Society of Jordanian Neurosurgeons. The conference would be held in the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea which is renowned for its superb facilities. Accommodations to host such a large number of participants will be shared by hotels in both the Dead Sea and Amman. If successful, the congress will be held under the Patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II.
Over the years Jordan had transformed into a modern state, with first class infrastructures, and an outstanding reputation for being an exceptional destination for international conventions and congresses. Jordan, being only 3 - 5 hours flight from major European cities, combines the convenience of exceptional facilities, experienced staff, unique pre and post touring opportunities with the world famous Jordanian hospitality.
Jordan enjoys more than 14000 rooms of all star categories, plus 2 state of the art Convention Centers equipped with the latest technologies, that can cater for more than 5000 people altogether, where numerous MICE events are held such as the World Economic Forum at the Dead Sea, the International Securities Commission Congress and the Microsoft Regional Webmasters conference at Zara Expo. |
