Dear colleagues,It is our pleasure to welcome you to this new virtual event of oursociety! Feeling encouraged by the success of last year?s Primeras JornadasVirtuales, early on we decided to resume our annual meeting program.However, we must confess that the organization of the past event impliedmany uncertainties and demanded strenuous secretarial efforts. These tryingtimes have forced everyone to experience the need of exploiting theelectronic means of communication at their maximum. We felt confidentthat the past virtual experience could be effectively reproduced andexpanded. However, we do not overlook the fact that we are still in theprocess of exiting these tragic times of Covid-19 pandemic. With the sanitarysituation in steady improvement through worldwide vaccination efforts, wedecided to move forward and materialize the ongoing plans for the cancelled2020 Iguazú meeting.As for the future, let us hope for the best, in the anticipation thatnext year we will be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our society!Plans are already moving forward for L Rosario 2022!In regard to this year?s annual meeting, I feel very fortunate to relyon a very enthusiastic and capable team of coworkers who devoted their bestefforts to the undertaking.
