As well as the excellent scientific programme, we have an exciting programme of social events for you to enjoy while you are at ICE/ECE 2012. Not only will these allow you to unwind after a day full of stimulating and thought-provoking talks, they will also provide an excellent opportunity to network and make new friends with your endocrine colleagues from around the world. The Programme Organising Committee have worked hard to ensure that we have a range of events to suit everyone and to ensure that you have the opportunity to visit some of the finest sights in Florence. Here we provide a taster of the events on offer but for further information, visit http://www.ice-ece2012.com/social.aspx
