Dear Friends and Colleagues

On the occasion of BIT’s 3^rd Annual World Congress of Endobolism 2013, I would like, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, to extend my warm welcome to all distinguished guests from all over the world.

The conference, being held from 20-22 May 2013 in Xi’an, China, is aimed to be the Asia’s largest meeting dedicated to endocrinology and metabolism. We work closely with Information Research Center of International Talents to improve the quality and clinical impact of our meetings. Since WCE-2011 in Xiamen, WCE-2012 in Beijing, the event has been well recognized as the most important international convention on endocrinology and metabolism. It was in every way extremely successful in spite of the preceding worldwide clinical and health problems.

WCE-2013 continues to focus not only on the needs of its practitioners, but also on the needs of referring scientists and patients. To that end, we invite and select renowned scientists to use this platform to report their achievements and communicate with the other colleagues. Through the conference, we have a strong commitment to advance the overall quality of endocrinology and metabolism and achieve even greater penetration in the diagnostics and management of patients with suspected or proven disease.

Finally, may I wish all the friends have a pleasant and healthy stay in this attractive city and BIT’s 3^rd Annual World Congress of Endobolism 2013 a complete success!
