We are delighted to invite you to attend the XVIIth ISPCAN International Congress which will be held in Hong Kong, China from the 7th to 10th September 2008. The Congress is being organized by the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) in collaboration with Against Child Abuse (ACA), Hong Kong. Children around the world face different forms of maltreatment: some unique to their locations and many more that transcend cultures and nations. ISPCAN congresses provide a unique opportunity for professionals all over the world to meet, discuss their concerns, learn from each other and support each other. Apart from stopping and preventing abuse and neglect, the theme of the XVIIth ISPCAN Congress hopes to stimulate participants to move the world "Towards a caring and non-violent community" emphasizing "a child's perspective" along the way. The scientific program of the Congress will cater for colleagues ranging from those who just recently joined the field to those looking for refinements in professional practices. The many concurrent sessions will offer participants new advances and opportunities to present innovative approaches to the subject and share well-tried evidence-based best practices. We invite all colleagues to submit abstracts. Abstract submission deadline is 15 February 2008. Hong Kong is a vibrant city where the East meets the West. Many will be curious to observe firsthand what changes have taken place since the handover of sovereignty to China some ten years ago. Others may take this chance to explore the orient. The Congress social program will ensure that visitors have opportunities to enjoy our Chinese cultural heritage while revitalizing old or building new friendships. We look forward to welcoming you to Hong Kong and to what will prove to be an unforgettable event. Yours sincerely,
