Dear Colleagues

The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) and our 2019 World Congress Scientific Committee are honored to announce the 23rd IFFS World Congress, to be held 11-14 April, 2019 in Shanghai, China.  Themed “Transforming the Frontiers of Human Reproduction” we look forward to including contributions from renowned international faculty focused on delivering leading edge research across a range of current issues in our field.  

International co-operation and dialogue in the field of fertility and sterility can be said to have truly commenced in 1951 in Rio de Janeiro with the formation of the International Fertility Association (IFA). Eminent scientists from around the world became members and the triennial World Congress in Fertility and Sterility was organized. The first congress was held in New York, USA, in May, 1953.  At the Sixth World Congress the IFFS was formally organized.

For the past fifty years, the IFFS World Congress has been a hallmark of global reproductive healthcare symposia.  We have distinguished ourselves in service to our core mission: to provide education to practitioners globally, promoting high standards of care and advocating for patients. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us in Shanghai as we continue to carry this legacy forward in 2019, where 4,000 fellow international specialists are expected to join us.

All IFFS World Congresses have featured state of the art trade exhibitions concurrent to the event.  This provides a world class platform for you, our industry colleagues to showcase the latest treatment options covering the full spectrum of reproduction from sexual health and fertility control through assisted reproduction and reproductive surgery to related gynaecological disorders.

The 2019 World Congress will examine research and development on local, regional, and international levels.  We believe that your contribution to this field is unparalleled and it is an honor and privilege to invite you to participate as a potential sponsor.

Sincerely,
