Join us at the ESTS Annual Meeting 2017

The AME Editorial Team is glad to attend the conference to exhibit our books and journals like the Journal of Thoracic Disease (JTD) at the booth (named “AME Publishing Company”). We would like to seize this great opportunity to meet our authors, editorial board members and readers. We warmly welcome you to stop by our booth when available and join us at the event. 
Now, there is a better chance to participate in the event: it is our great pleasure to invite you as one of our journalist to do some interviews or host some talking shows with the experts. Besides of a speaker or listener during the meeting, you could also do well as a journalist! Even if you are unable to attend the meeting in person, you could pay attention to a series of reports for the conferences done by the AME team collaborating with our invited journalists.

In addition, as the academic cooperator of this event, JTD has been working with Dr. Enrico Ruffini and Dr. Alessandro Brunelli for a series of focused issues dedicated to the ESTS Annual Meetings since 2014. The Focused Issue in JTD (Vol 9, Supplement 3) dedicated to the ESTS 2017 collects a selection of the most innovative and state of the art invited lectures presented during the 24rd ESTS Annual Congress and will be distributed to all the attendees of the meeting.

We sincerely welcome you to visit our booth “AME Publishing Company” at No. 31. Look forward to meeting you in Innsbruck.
