On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is with my greatest pleasure to announce that the Sports Medicine And Rehabilitation Therapy Convention, SMART Convention 2009, will be held at the Postgraduate Education Centre, Prince of Wales Hospital on Sep 19, 2009. It is indeed an exciting and heartening annual event, featuring the innovative SMART Membership Scheme.

SMART Convention 2009 is a convention on sports medicine and rehabilitation therapy in Hong Kong which aims to improve the professional standard of exercise-for-health services and rehabilitation services after sports and occupational injuries, as well as to encourage all segments of society to enjoy the benefits of exercise. The SMART Convention is a once-a-year opportunity for the industry to present products and services in front of sports physicians, sports scientists, physiotherapists, athletic trainers, allied health professionals, and professionals from sports and other related industries with the backdrop of the SMART Membership Scheme.

"Innovation, new technology and clinical applications" are the hallmarks of SMART. We seek to utilize this Convention as the platform, gathering the international and local experts in the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation science, to promote a better standard of sports related services, products and professional development through lectures, symposia and workshops. A trade exhibition will also be held.

The SMART convention 2009 is surely a "must-attend" event for all those involved in sports and rehabilitation. This is an excellent opportunity not only to meet and exchange your experience and expertise with the world experts and professionals but also to savor the superb hospitality of the sporting fraternity.

I look forward to meeting you all in the SMART Convention 2009 in Hong Kong!!
 

With my best personal regards, Prof Kai-Ming Chan Chairman of Organizing Committee SMART Convention 2009
