Dear Friends We are delighted to welcome you to the 38th Annual Meeting of ISPAD, October 10-13, 2012, in Istanbul, Turkey. Extending into both Europe and Asia, Istanbul is the only city in the world which is situated on two continents, demonstrating a true melting pot of cultures and civilizations both eastern and western. Our aim is to build an ambitious and unique program alongside the Local Organizing Committee focusing on basic science and clinical research where state of the art views of the recent advances in pediatric diabetes will be covered. We will bring together Scientific and clinical leaders as well as young scientists from all over the world in order to lead interactive debates. Beyond scientific activities a visit in Istanbul will give you the opportunity to be able to feel the historical continuity from the ancient times to the modern age and be amazed by the lights, flavors and places. We will also have the time to develop social and interpersonal relationships and friendships through joining together at the social events. We look forward to welcoming and hosting you in Istanbul and wish all of you an unforgettable congress and enjoyable stay in Istanbul. Şükran Darcan, MD Damla Gökşen, MD
