We are currently living through uncertain times, as new decisions on whether or not our meeting can take place in physical form could be taken at any moment. Since currently, there is no interdiction to hold the meeting in physical form, we are pursuing on the track of having an actual, physical meeting at Dolce.
Of course, the Covid Safe Pass and masks are mandatory for all attendees. The walking dinner has been cancelled, however, and lunch will be seated (in a room where sufficient spacing is possible)
The number of registrations will be limited to 100 (on a first-come-first-serve basis) to allow for sufficient spacing in the auditorium.
We are working on fallback solutions (hybrid or virtual meeting) in case new government decisions force us to do so, and will inform you as soon as there is a change in the planning.
If you have not registered yet, you can do so via this link.
We would also like to remind you that new elections for BANO board members are being. Any BANO member (only board-certified specialists, including paramedics, assistants cannot apply) can apply. Applicants should send one PowerPoint slide with their name, specialty, affiliation, and photo via e-mail to nicolas.whenham@uclouvain.be (secretary) and jean-francois.daisne@uzleuven.be (president). Deadline for application is 26 November.
