The 2nd
International ME/CFS Conference 2007 took place in early May
2007 in London and was attended by presenters and delegates
from 12 countries, from Europe, USA, Canada and even South
Korea.
Invest
in ME would like to thank all those who took part in the
conference for contributing to the wonderful atmosphere
which was present during both days of the conference. Many
travelled from afar and the conference was a success because
of the character and of all.
The
atmosphere at the conference showed the positive and
forward-looking side of the ME community around the world.
We
believe that everyone left not only with an enhanced
knowledge gained from the conference but also with renewed
hope for the future treatment and possible cure for myalgic
encephalomyelitis. The breadth of knowledge, science and
experience regarding ME, as discussed and presented at the
conference, is not only impressive but also exciting.
We hope
that the many contacts which were established at the
conference will continue and we hope to remain in
contact with as many of you as possible. To see renowned
experts on ME discussing with each other and forming or
re-enforcing collaborative efforts was reward enough for
hosting the conference.
To turn
into reality our efforts to form a world alliance of
campaigning ME Support organisations was also justification
for the conference.
And
then there were the presentations from our distinguished
speakers. An amazing amount of knowledge was presented
showing the organic nature of myalgic encephalomyelitis.
Invest
in ME published its first
Journal of IiME, which also
served as a conference brochure. This can be downloaded from
the link above.

We do
value and appreciate all the comments and feedback which we
received and we shall use these to attempt to improve the
conference for 2008.

The
complete presentation materials are available and

Many
thanks for all of the support we received.

Wishes from all at Invest in ME
