On behalf of the Taiwan Association for Minimally Invasive Gynecology (TAMIG), we are honored and excited to share with you that the 17th Asia-Pacific Association for Gynecologic Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Therapy Annual Congress in conjunction with 2016 Taiwan Association for Minimally Invasive Gynecology Annual Meeting (2016 APAGE & TAMIG Annual Congress) will be on November 4-6, 2016 at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), Taiwan.

The APAGE Annual Congress is the largest gynecologic meeting in the Asia-Pacific region which serves as the platform for experts in this field with practical training to exchange their experiences. The annual congress has been held since 2004 and launched its Laparoscopic Gynecologic Oncology Surgery & Hands-on Animal Workshop from 2006. Since then, APAGE endeavors to promote the educational exchanges between hospitals and countries; currently more than 50 doctors have completed the training course of APAGE and six training centers in the Asia-Pacific region are available for all the doctors to have the opportunities to obtain and share their most current knowledge and latest skills.

I hereby would like to extend my sincere welcome to you to the APAGE 2016 Annual Congress in Taipei, and I hope you will take this opportunity to renew friendships and establish new networking opportunities. During your stay, please ensure to take some time to explore the cultural and historical richness in Taipei and other parts of Taiwan.
