YOU ARE INVITED

To participate in and contribute to THE TENTH International Montreux Congress on STRESS. This symposium is designed to demonstrate how advances in conventional basic science, as well as alternative and traditional approaches can be integrated into clinical medicine. Cutting edge and state of the art presentations at past events by a Faculty of world renowned authorities have demonstrated how this synergy can provide mutual benefits. Their varied backgrounds and areas of expertise also vividly illustrate the multidisciplinary approach required for understanding the mechanisms underlying the myriad psychophysiologic effects of stress.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL?

One distinguishing feature is the exquisite setting and ambiance. These Congresses are conducted entirely within the confines of the Grand Hôtel Excelsior, which has long been the recipient of numerous Five Star Awards for its superb service and cuisine. Located directly on Lake Geneva across from Evian, every room has an outside patio, with a breathtaking, panoramic view of the majestic beauty of the French and Swiss Alps. This elegant, but yet very informal atmosphere is unique, and fosters the development of close personal and professional relationships between Registrants and Faculty, particularly while enjoying the truly gourmet dining, and during after dinner get togethers in the Main Salon. Attendance is strictly limited to preserve this intimacy, and early registration is advised to insure accomodations. The fee schedule for this event is an unbelievable value, and arrangements have also been made for even less expensive accomodations at nearby participating hotels, with complimentary transportation to and from the Grand Hôtel Excelsior. This Congress is dedicated to reducing the stresses associated with most professional meetings by providing leisurely dining, free time to enjoy the surroundings, and a thoroughly relaxed atmosphere.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PRELIMINARY AND WILL BE UPDATED AT PERIODIC INTERVALS.

FACULTY
 
     Our 1999 Hans Selye Award Recipient will be Dr. W. Ross Adey, who is being honored for his seminal contributions to our understanding of the psychophysiologic effects of weak electromagnetic fields. Two days will be devoted to cutting edge advances in biolelectromagnetic research to vividly illustrate the clinical applications of electromedicine in the millennium. Other plenary sessions include the therapeutic use of other subtle energies, the growing epidemic of violence in society and particularly on the job, stress reduction and health promotion in the workplace, current concepts of Type A behavior, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and the relationship between stress and creativity at work. There will be additional invited presentations, and March 6 will be devoted to Holistic Medicine approaches.

Swissair is our official carrier, and special reduced fares are available for Congress participants when traveling from any Swissair destination through all Swissair facilities. The official designated agencies for the U.S. and Canada, are Conferences International (1-800-221 8747/Fax: 1 617 796 0101) and for the U.K., Karin Rommel Travel Pic.

Trains leave hourly from Geneva and Zurich airports to Montreux, and train stations are conveniently located in both airports. The scenic trip by car or train from Geneva to Montreux takes an hour or less, and provides a magnificent view of the French and Swiss Alps on the other side of the Lake. 

There will be an unusual opportunity for shopping, skiing, and sightseeing because of the proximity to Geneva, Lausanne, Gstadt, Evian, and other nearby attractions. The climate is quite mild, residents play golf year round, and palm trees line the lake. Since space is limited, early registration is advised.
