Saudi Arabia OT Conference in April, 2010

Best of luck to the OT's in Saudi Arabia in organizing this conference. Time flies by, as it has been almost 2 1/2 years since we had the First Regional OT Conference in the M.E. in Cairo! I can recall how much hard work was put into organizing this event...

As we all would like to see OT develop in the whole region, I am posting an announcement from the head of the scientific committee for the first OT conference in Saudi Arabia.
