SIMPAR (Study In Multidisciplinary PAin Research) is the first bench to bedside meeting where a real translational approach let attendants to understand how to change clinical and daily activity. In the last edition (VIII SIMPAR in Rome) more than 500 attendants from 30 different countries have joined the meeting with wonderful feedbacks.

ISURA (International Symposium of Ultrasound for Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine) is the first large meeting completely dedicated to the application of ultrasound for regional anaesthesia and pain medicine. It will be the 14th year in Florence in 2017. The tradition is that the event will alternate between Toronto and a beautiful European city.
