GOC's 29th Annual General Meeting

It is with great pleasure that the AGM Planning Committee and the Executive Council invite you to this year’s ACM meeting in Calgary, Alberta, the Society’s 29th Annual General Meeting. This year’s ACM will be another outstanding meeting. Again this year, we have received an extraordinary number of abstract submissions, 45 in all of which 17 are oral presentations, and a record 25 poster presentations. In addition, we will have two guest speakers ~ our Royal College Speaker Dr. John F. Boggess who will be speaking on the topic of Robotics and Dr. Denis Querleu who will present new nomenclature on radical hysterectomy.

A very exciting part of the program is the presence of the Da Vinci S Robot! Yes, the robot himself will be at the GOC meeting and available for members to trial!
