From the first meeting in Tokyo in 1973 to the most recent meeting in Cape Town, the Society has visited all the continents of the globe to spread its philosophy of improving the care of children with surgically treatable neurological conditions. Our meetings have also allowed friendships to develop across the world which cross the boundaries of race, creed and color and share the common goal of improving the health care of children. We have also had a very good time in the process and who can resist this marvelous cross-cultural exchange!
We must also acknowledge the enormous amount of work that organizing these meetings take and so we honor our host President and their organizing teams, as well as their splendid venues.
