Accompanying the 12NBC is a "Health Technology and Science Exhibition" with over 30 exhibitors and a brokerage-event. Info on www.si.is/health. The Exhibition is in the same local as the 12NBC and can be attended without extra charge.

The social program includes a wet-together at the Blue Lagoon, a unique wonder of nature; a lagoon with pleasantly warm geothermal water in the middle of a black lava field, where we will enjoy bathing, a cocktail and light dinner accompanied by a live band playing hot and steaming music.

Reykjavik is the venue for the conference, the northernmost capital in the world. It takes place in the middle of June year 2002, when the nights are bright and the clear air offers a good view of the unusual nature of Iceland. The hot and wild volcano island offers a rich variety of hot springs, waterfalls, mountains, glaciers, birds and whales to be enjoyed by interested minds and caring hearts.

With this invitation, you are cordially welcomed at the 12th Nordic-Baltic Conference on Biomedical Engineering in Reykjavik, Iceland on 18-22 June 2002.
