The World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) will hold their annual International Symposium in Lisbon, Portugal from November 4 th to November 6 th . Organised by the A.P.A.E., the symposium's aim is to exchange the current academic and practical understanding of Acupuncture from a global perspective. More than 400 experts and delegates worldwide will convene to discuss the present situation and future direction of Acupuncture, considering the increasing significance of preventative medicine in an aging society.

The particular aim of this year's symposium will be to emphasise the practical aspect of Acupuncture through extensive workshops provided by the most prestigious organisations from China , Japan and Europe . As well as stimulating theoretical and scientific research, we would like the participants to see and feel the results of Acupuncture practice at its best, taking away home hints and ideas as to how we as practitioners can keep on improving society's well-being. Of particular importance will be the collaboration between Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine in designing new ways to heal the human body.

This will be a unique opportunity to absorb valuable knowledge and network with practitioners and organisations across the continents. It is open to all who are willing to contribute and participate. We, the A.P.A.E. would like to welcome you to this noble opportunity in shaping Acupuncture through the 21 st century.
