The SAEVA congress seems like a very long time ago already. I was fortunate to be able
to attend this year and it was an incredible event with an amazing lineup of international
speakers. All credit to Terry and the congress organizing committee and Madaleen and her
team for putting on a great show. The congress report and photographs in this edition of
the EHU should be a nice reminder for those that attended or an interesting read for those
that did not.
