Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that we are ready to the III World Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Techniques (III WCMISST) will be held from 16^TH to 18^TH August, 2012 in Bahia, Brazil.

The III WCMISST 2012 will take place together with the III Brazilian Congress of MISST (III COMINCO) and the meetings of the main International MISST Societies (ACMISST, IITTS, ISMISS, SICCMI, SLAOT, SMISS, and WIP).

The venue we have chosen, the Iberostar Beach Resort, is a splendid place which will provide you alongside a World Class Scientific Program, a unique and unforgettable social experience (16^th: Opening Show; 17^th: Big Show; 18^th Luau Feast).

The highlight of III WCMISST will be the integration of the colleagues and main International MISS Societies around the World and foundation of the World Federation of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Techniques (WFMISSTS).

You all are very welcome to Brazil and be part of the beginning of the "New Global Era" in Interventional Treatment of the Spine Disease: "The Era of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Techniques".

I look forward to personally welcoming you to the III WCMISST.
