Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organising Committee and the Turkish branch of the WPSA, I would like to extend to you a warm invitation to the 2nd Mediterranean Poultry Summit, which will be held in Antalya, Turkey from 4 to 7 October 2009.
After the success of the 1st Mediterranean Poultry Summit in Chalkidiki, Greece, it was decided to hold these meetings on a periodic basis. Thus we will have the honour of not only hosting this summit, but also the opportunity to cement it into a successful series that will provide an international forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas, on all aspects related to poultry in the Mediterranean region.

The Scientific Programme of the 2nd Mediterranean Poultry Summit will focus on the main issues currently related to poultry research and production in the Mediterranean countries to add to and improve knowledge in a world where information and innovations are spread rapidly.

The summit will take place at the 5* Akka Antedon Hotel in Beldibi, which is located 25km from Antalya. Antalya is the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, the most stunning part of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, including more than a thousand kilometres of shoreline. The Turkish Riviera is strewn with historical sites and incredible scenery.

The social programmes will provide opportunities for the participants to interact with each other to exchange ideas and make new friendships.

We believe Antalya is a wonderful location for the 2nd Mediterranean Poultry Summit and has much to offer to the visitor.

We look forward to welcoming you to Antalya, Turkey in October 2009. See you soon!

Prof. Dr. Rüveyde Akbay
President of the Turkish branch of WPSA
Head of the Organising Committee
