Dear Hypertension 2008 Delegates,
It is my pleasure to invite all participants to the Hypertension 2008 conference to the German capital city of Berlin. Berlin is an international gathering point for trade fairs and congresses that offers the quintessential ambience for a intensive exchange of professional knowledge. We are proud that the city has developed into a leading location to host international medical and health care conferences.
With your very important and well known Hypertension 2008 conference you are underlining our reputation in this field. On top of its standing as a notable conference location, Berlin has an excellent reputation as a city of science and medicine. Based on its great tradition in this area, Berlin is sharpening its profile as a modern health city. The international exchange of knowledge concerning the research in the field of hypertension is becoming more and more important. As of today, hypertension is still underrated in public and it is a danger for the health of many people. My regards go especially to the physicians and researchers who are dedicating their work to fight against Hypertension.
In this spirit I cordially welcome all participants to the city of Berlin for the Hypertension 2008 conference. I wish you a productive conference, as well as stimulating and pleasurable days in Berlin.
Klaus Wowereit
Governing Mayor of Berlin
