Welcome letter

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 3rd Biennial Conference of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, it is my pleasure to invite you to the Conference, which will be held from January 27-28, 2008 in Delhi and January 30, 2008 in Agra.

The conference will be held over 2 days in Delhi and 1 full day in Agra. We are planning a stimulating mix of high level science from a prestigious group of international speakers and updates on cutting edge research through plenary lectures, rapid communications, posters, workshops and an advocacy forum.

Delhi, known for its vast history and special spices offers visitors a mix of culinary excitement as well as cultural sights, ranging from local markets, monuments and forts all the way to places of worship and lovely botanical gardens.

The Golden Triangle of India allows visitors to experience 3 famous cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Each place offers its own highlights and charm.

A once in a lifetime experience not to miss out on is the Palace on Wheels, the luxurious train of India, which is rated as one of the top ten luxury train journeys in the world and allows visitors the perfect chance to relive the era when kings and queens ruled.

Just 5 hours away by coach from Delhi lies the medieval city of Agra. Agra can boast three heritage monuments- The Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri and Red Fort. The Taj Mahal of course being one of the most famous buildings in the world.

I look forward to welcoming you to India in January 2008.

Dr. Lakshmi Yatham
Chairperson, Organizing Committee
