Dear Friends,

Continuing the tradition of "Botulinum toxin in neurological practice" conferences, we are announcing the 7th edition planned for 2024, this time in the international form.

Our conferences focus mostly on the practical aspects of the treatment with Botulinum toxin. However, the current knowledge summarizing the most recent developments in the field will be an important part of the conference, as well. Besides lectures on dystonia, spasticity and other indications for Botulinum toxin injections, hands-on workshops will be offered, where we will demonstrate and learn how to analyze the dystonia or spasticity patterns, how to use US guidance, and successfully treat our patients. All participants are welcome to bring their own interesting or controversial cases, which may be included in the conference program at 2 sessions entitled "Show me your case".*

Finally, I would like to thank our scientific committee, including many distinguished and world-known speakers, who agreed to come to Gdansk.

I hope this conference will be helpful in improving your own everyday clinical practice.

The conference venue is located in the heart of the beautiful Old City of Gdansk, the city with more than 1000 years of history and tradition of freedom. Gdansk has been home to great citizens, including Jan Hevelius, Arthur Schopenhauer, Daniel Fahrenheit, Gunther Grass and Lech Walesa. It offers many interesting historical places to see.

Welcome to Gdansk and to Poland!
