Dear ISVEE Delegates – Greetings from Merida, Yucatan, MEXICO!
We received 862 abstracts (144 posters and 718 oral presentations). A
total of 628 delegates (includes 180 students) from 54 countries
submitted 1 to 6 abstracts for oral or poster presentations.
The goal is to select 430/718 abstracts submitted for oral
Alfredo Dájer, President of the
presentations.
Organizing Committee of ISVEE 14.
During a house keeping meeting in ISVEE 13 Maastricht 2012, the
ISVEE International Management Committee reached consensus to allow one delegate to
deliver one oral presentation only during ISVEE 14 Yucatan 2015. The purpose is to allow more
delegates to engage in oral presentations, thus having a greater representation of our ISVEE
society in our scientific program (oral platform).

HOTEL INFORMATION
We have identified seven hotels (three to five stars) that you can consider for your stay in
Merida, Yucatan. Three hotels are located in the Hotel Zone (Hyatt Merida, Ibis Merida, and
Fiesta Americana), two more are located on Paseo de Montejo (El Conquistador and Victoria
Merida), and two more are in the historic part of Merida (Caribe Merida and El Castellano).
There are few hotels near the Convention Center Siglo XXI, but we believe you, your family, or
friends will be more comfortable by staying in the three selected locations …near to or in the
historic part of the city. For more information (group rates, etc), please go to this site
