The 1ST Joint Meeting of Chinese-Japanese-Korean Ophthalmologists, jointly together with the 100th Korean Ophthalmological Society Annual Meeting will be held for two days on November 1, 2008 in Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX), Ilsan.

Purpose of the Meeting
“The rapid development of global economic interdependence is not only releasing enormous energy for growth but also promoting the common development of countries at different levels.”(WTO, 1996). The ophthalmologists are unavoidably involved in the phenomenon of globalization. The meeting in turn aims at establishing a communicative platform which could enable ophthalmologists from China, Japan and Korea, especially young ophthalmologists to conduct academic exchanges, and which could also enhance the friendship amongst the three participating countries.
Venue
The meeting will be held in KINTEX (www.kintex.com/chinese/main.jsp), Ilsan. KINTEX is located at the foot of Bukhan Mountain in Ilsan, which is one of Korea’s five most famous mountains. The highest mountains are Baiyun Tai, Rengshou Mountain and Wanjing Mountain.
