Dear Friends & Colleagues,
 
The 16th meeting of the International Bladder Cancer Network will be held October 11th- 13th, 2018 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands with this year’s hosts Ellen Zwarthoff and Joost Boormans. The program is coming together nicely, with keynote speakers Gordon Robertson (TCGA, Vancouver) and Marcus Thelen (Cytokines in Metastasis, Bellinzona) and IBCN speaker Molly Ingersoll (Bladder Cancer from the Immonologist’s Perspective, Paris). We also plan some debates this year on hot topics that promise to be hotly contested. Stay tuned for on-line registration.
 
At this point we would like to remind everyone that the abstract submission deadline will be July 1, 2018. This year we are using an on-line submission form:  http://www.ibcnweb.net/upcoming-meetings/abstract-submission/ Remember that we will fewer oral presentations of abstracts this year so that we have more time for discussion, and we will introduce a fun and engaging poster session (details to follow).
 
 The meeting will be held at the Mainport Hotel in central Rotterdam on the banks of the Maas. 

We hope to welcome you all in Rotterdam!
