Dear Colleagues and Friends!

The 1st and 2nd preliminary International Winter Congress were organized in 1996 and 1999 at Snowmass by Dr. Fukushima.  Following these, the 1st official International Neurosurgical Winter Meeting was held in 2005 in Torino, Italy by Professor Alessandro Ducati and the 2nd International Neurosurgical Winter Meeting took place in 2007 in Zermatt, Switzerland by Professor Helmut Bertalanffy; both with resounding success. 

It is our great pleasure to organize the 3rd International Neurosurgical Winter Congress (INWC) at the 5-Star Cliff Lodge & Spa in Snowbird, Utah March 22-29, 2009.  Very affordable group rate arrangements at the hotel with 7 night packages have been arranged.  The 3rd INWC will feature microsurgical topics, cutting edge operative skills, skull base surgery, C-P angle lesions, cerebrovascular surgery, MVD, trauma, spine surgery, as well as functional, stereotaxis, neuro-navigating, endovascular, endoscopic and radiosurgical subjects.

In the most pleasant environment of snow, sky, ski, science, surgery and sushi, you will enjoy scientific learning, exchange of international friendship and family enjoyment.
