Dear participants,
On behalf of Rheinland-Pfalz I extend heartfelt greetings to participants in the 10th World Conference Cornelia-de-Lange Syndrome in Bad Neuenahr- Ahrweiler. I am delighted that the World Conference is being held in Rheinland-Pfalz and hope that, in addition to the family conference and the symposium, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of Rheinland-Pfalz.
The motto of the 10th World Conference is "Together", because together we can overcome more challenges and achieve more. The 'arbeitskreis' Cornelia-de-Lange-Syndrom e.V. (Germany) organised the conference together with the 'vereniging' Cornelia de Lange syndroom (Netherlands and Belgium) in order to enable people with Cornelia de Lange syndrome and families to exchange experiences with others, but also to get in touch with experts and to inform themselves about the latest developments in science, therapies and medicine. Last but not least, the World Conference will be a celebration for the children, which they can experience together with their families.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Arbeitskreis Cornelia-de-Lange-Syndrom e.V. on its 25th anniversary. The members of the working group have made a decisive contribution to increasing the quality of life of those affected and their relatives. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all the active and former club members for their contribution to this demanding and important work.
My special thanks go to all the supporters and sponsors as well as the volunteers, who have come forward, to make this conference a success. I wish you all a successful world conference and many productive and useful meetings!
Malu Dreyer
Prime Minister of Rheinland-Pfalz
