Welcome to the 43rd Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology!

2011 will be a great year to visit New Zealand and we've saved a place for each of you because we know you will really enjoy yourselves.

Spring is a lovely time here. The weather is just right, our lovely country sparkles and the eyes of the sporting world will be watching us as the Rugby World Cup Final plays out on the 23rd October. It is also when The 43rd Congress of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology takes place. SIOP 2011 will be held from 26 - 30 October 2011 in Auckland, a time to bring together all those concerned with the care of children with cancer.

Your welcome will be warm, the city vibrant and the atmosphere most congenial. In our quest to cure childhood cancer, there can be nothing better than to share what we know and bring our different thoughts together - the sum of the whole is, after all greater than its parts. It is also the very best opportunity to spring board your New Zealand vacation in a country that offers something to delight everyone.

We look forward to welcoming you to Auckland in 2011! Register here http://www.siop2011.com/
