3 Welcome Message Jaipur, India plays host to the 12th Asia Pacific Musculoskeletal Tumor Society meeting in October The APMSTS meeting is a unique event where musculoskeletal oncologists from all across Asia and the globe converge once every two years to exchange views and partake in scientific deliberations. In 2018 the APMSTS meeting is being held in combination with the Indian Musculo Skeletal Oncology Society (IMSOS) meeting. The theme of the conference is Education Collaboration - Innovation. This epitomizes our desire to share and disseminate knowledge, the spirit of collaboration necessary to find answers to common problems and the need to derive innovative solutions best suited to our socio economic milieu. There will be ample scope for trade partners to interact with delegates during the meeting. Besides a platform to share general information with all participants there will also be opportunities to interact with key opinion leaders in smaller groups during the course of the conference in a relaxed and congenial atmosphere. Our aim is to have a limited number of trade partners for the meeting to enable adequate exposure to all participating industry representatives. We invite you to join us for the combined 12th Asia Pacific Musculoskeletal Tumor Society and IMSOS meeting and avail this unique opportunity to have focussed interaction with end users and update them regarding your products in an environment that is relaxed yet conducive to scientific discussion. We are sure the ambience and hospitality of Jaipur combined with an exciting and informative scientific programme that encompasses plenary lectures, interactive discussions, free papers, poster presentations and exhibits, will ensure that this 2018 conference is well attended by both, national and international delegates giving your products unparalleled exposure. Come, join us in Jaipur in 2018 and partake of the experience that is Incredible India! Prof. Ajay Puri President APMSTS Organising Chairman Dr. Ashish Gulia Organising Secretary APMSTS
