5 Programme 3 WELCOME MESSAGE Dear Colleagues, The Swiss Society for Interventional Pain Management is proud to welcome you in Montreux for its annual congress. This year we decided to focus on one subject only: the intervertebral disc. The idea is to review this topic, adress it via different approaches and update our knowledge with our brilliant pannel of internationally reknown speakers. We already anticipate interesting discussions just looking at the background of the scientific committee and speakers! Hopefully the debate will to end up with a consensus! For the less serious part, on Friday night, we have also organized a typically "Swiss evening" in a "Châlet" close to Montreux. Our evening will start with the exceptional participation of a special guest, we are in Montreux, jazz is everywhere! So, ladies and gentlemen, open your agendas and book these dates! We hope to see you all in Montreux and share these interesting lectures "Au bord du Lac Léman". Philippe Mavrocordatos Congress Chairman
