WELCOME MESSAGE Dear Colleagues, 10 years, and you are still participating! thank you! We started small, very small. I remember well these white nights, wondering during the first months of 2009 if I should call sponsors first to have some money to fly the speakers over or if I d better invite the speakers to have something to offer to potential sponsors... not that easy... One morning, I walk up and emailed both speakers and sponsors the same day and it happened, they all agreed! and the story started. During the first two years, speakers were invited but many of them did not know where Montreux was. Today things have changed dramatically, you can hear them, in other congresses, whisper in the last row of conference rooms: - Have you been invited to speak in Montreux already? (whisper) - No unfortunately not...(sad face...) - Well, I have! (proud, chin up...) The Swiss Pain Congress became true thanks to Catherine Perrin who was always on my side since the first meeting and then continued to run the organization when Christophe Perruchoud joined us with the SNS in 2012. More than 100 speakers from Europe, USA, Asia and Australia shared their knowledge and experiences, bridged basic sciences and clinical practice to help participants improve the daily living of patients. This congress lives thanks to them, thanks to our sponsors and thanks to you. It could be much bigger, but we like it like this, friendly and open minded. Enjoy! Philippe Mavrocordatos, SSIPM Christophe Perruchoud, SNS
