Dear colleagues,

You are warmly invited to join us on the 6th July 2024 (prior to the ESHRE Annual meeting) for the IICO symposium “How the internet, digilization and DNA changes the field of counseling” that will take place in Amsterdam.

Together with POINT, the professional organisation of Belgian and Dutch Fertility counselors, the International Infertility Counselling Organization (IICO) is offering a half-day symposium (12 – 6 p.m.) for colleagues interested in the developments in the field of ART-counseling. The symposium will provide opportunities to discuss and share experiences with international colleagues. All presentations will be in English. Afterwards there will be the possibility for a joint dinner.
