Dear Sponsor.

The West London Neuroscience Unit is delighted to have been asked to host the Association of British Neurologists Autumn meeting in November 2007. We are particularly honoured to coordinate this important meeting which combines, what will be the second of the two 75th anniversary meetings and a joint meeting with the Norwegian Neurological Society We have selected the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, just opposite to Westminster Abbey, for what we intend to be an extremely important and vibrant meeting.
We very much hope these factors will tempt the ABN membership to attend in force!

For those members of industry who have kindly sponsored ABN events in the past or for those of you who have never been to an ABN meeting at all, we hope you will see that there are plenty of reasons to support to this keynote meeting. The following points we feel deserve special mention.

• The meeting will be hosted on the 3rd floor of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, which has a commanding atrium overlooking Westminster Abbey. This area will have ample space for industry stands at the very heart of this important congress. There will be access to local hotels and facilities including a reception at the House of Lords.
Two lecture theatres have been reserved with additional meetings facilities.

• A diverse exciting educational and scientific programme will provide ample opportunity for interaction with neurologists and patient’s with neurological disease. Most importantly on the first day of the congress will see joint meetings between the ABN and patient organisations. The anniversary educational symposium will include a series of keynote talks documenting the major advances in different neurological disorders over 75 years. A number of additional opportunities with regard specific educational symposium are being developed.

My colleagues or myself will be more than happy to meet with you in order to discuss the plans for this meeting, particularly if anybody has any novel ideas about special ways to celebrate this special occasion.

Yours sincerely Dr Angus Kennedy Consultant Neurologist
