On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a great pleasure and honor for us to invite you to the 8th International Neurosurgical Winter Congress (INWC) which will be held on January 15 to 19, 2019, at Shiga-Kogen Prince Hotel, Nagano, Japan. The hotel is located in the famous ski area, Shiga-Kogen Ski Area, where the Winter Olympic Game has been held in 1998. Here are URLs of the hotel (http://www.princehotels.com/shiga/) and the Ski Area (http://en.shigakogen-ski.com/ (for 2017-2018 season)).

The topics of this meeting cover all aspects of neurosurgery such as vascular, neurooncology, skull base, spine and spinal cord, and so on.

In addition to the scientific activity, you can enjoy winter activity outside the hotel, it must be exciting!
