You are cordially invited to attend the MINRAD worldwide distributor meeting from February 29-March 2, 2008, in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. The agenda will include two days of presentations and panel discussions by distinguished physicians on topics related to image guidance, anesthesia and conscious sedation. On the third day, we want you to relax with a round of golf or perhaps a tour that is being planned.

The MINRAD International Distributor Meeting is being held in conjunction with the World Congress of Anaesthesia (WCA). The WCA is held every four years and will start the following Monday. MINRAD will have a 54-square meter booth and will highlight our SabreSource^TM and Light Sabre^TM image guidance system, our inhalation anaesthetics, as well as some exciting new products.

You and your guests will be staying at the Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel in Cape Town as our guests. Besides a great learning experience for all, we hope to share successes and build camaraderie among our many world-wide partners. The details of the meeting are included in this mailing, so please put this event on your calendars and plan on joining us.
