Welcome to the 17th European Conference on Pediatric and Neonatal Ventilation (EPNV)
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The 17th European Conference on Pediatric and Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation (EPNV) will be held exceptionally in Interlaken, Switzerland, as the Conference Center in Montreux, our usual meeting place, is temporarily closed for renovation work. You will be surprised, as Interlaken, situated between two lakes and surrounded by the Bernese Alps with their glaciers, offers a unique, yet exceptional environment for our meeting too.
As in previous years, thematic sessions of EPNV will include lectures by key experts and well-known speakers on various topics related to respiratory support and respiratory failure in newborns and children.
We will continue to emphasize free paper and E-poster presentations offering young pediatricians, neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, pediatric anesthetists, a multidisciplinary forum where they can present their research and share their clinical experience with all participants. In addition, according to our strong commitment to education, we will offer again a series of pre-congress workshops that will focus on very practical bedside issues.
We are inviting you to participate and to make this 17th European Conference on Paediatric and Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation once more a high standard event and a tremendous success.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Interlaken in May 2025.
Peter C. Rimensberger
Congress Chairman EPNV
