We are developing a complete web page about the 14th World Conference, including photos and much more!

From these lines we want to thank all the Institutions and Collaborators for the help provided about the Conference.

Thank you very much for all the congratulations we are receiving about the organization of the Conference, personally I am very sorry for not having had the chance to pay close attention to so many friends from all over the world in these days, but it was impossible to have a cup of coffee in a relaxed way with a lot of friends; anyway, we have the consolation of receiving a huge amount of proof of affection and messages recognizing the importance of this Conference and the results obtained.

Really, it is not so usual to organize a World Conference, and we are very happy of this 14th edition, not only because the number of conference attendee, but also because of number of countries represented, 53 countries, and for most of them this was the first opportunity to attend this kind of Conferences; we are so satisfied for the quantity of presentations (299, with 11/12 rooms at the same time from 07:30 to 17:30), which is not comparable with any other World Conference, and also for the quality of the attendee. I have attended 6 from the 14 World Conferences, and I had never found so many presenters of so much quality, as scientific bibliographic references confirm.

The Youth Forum and Children Summit was also very active and participative, as the organizers of the 15th World Conference in Adelaida stated in the Closing Ceremonies on August, 4.

On behalf of the Organizer Committee and the Scientific Committee, I want to reiterate our gratitude.
