Program
The program will encompass a number of globally recognized keynote speakers addressing the Congress themes. There will also be quality symposia, which present coordinated papers on an important topic of current interest. Other sessions will encompass free papers that allow practitioners and researchers to report on their clinical practice or research findings. A limited number of workshops will focus on skill development in child abuse practice. There will also be interactive discussion presentations where individuals can present in more detail in a less structured environment. Interwoven with these academic sessions will be an opportunity for meeting old and new friends, not only over coffee, but also at social events.
