2 WELCOME LETTER Dear Friends and Colleagues We are happy to invite you to attend the 13th World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility (COGI) which will be jointly organized with German Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, to be held in November 4-7, 2010 at the Berliner Congress Center (BCC), Berlin, Germany. The groundbreaking series of COGI Congresses provide a unique platform to discuss controversial issues in all fields of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility. The ability to discuss just controversial topics with emphasis on clinical solutions in cases where no agreed-upon answers or consensus exist, provides clinicians with an insight and a take-home message that ameliorates treatment in the most difficult cases. The high level of discussions has already placed COGI as a gathering site for experts from various subdisciplines, and a forum where physicians with more general clinical interest in several fields may find solutions that would otherwise require many monothematic congresses. The joint meeting promises the finest scientific program, with heated discussions and more durable material, such as webcasting and publications, for the benefit of all participating physicians and industry alike. Meeting attendees will be able to enjoy the sweeping views, historic charm, and outstanding dining and shopping that make Berlin world-renowned. We believe that you will join us at what we believe will be an outstanding scientific event.
