Welcome to ISPO

This society was formed in 1988 as an important interest group of the American Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM).

It has over 300 members from over 40 countries. Members meets annually at the same time as the SMFM and plays an important role in fostering educational links internationally and providing an additional forum for delegates to present scientific endeavors to an international audience.

Due to an unprecedented demand for such a forum the ISPO decided to extend its activities to include the organization of an international scientific meeting outside of the USA every two-three years.

The first meeting was held in Athens, Greece in June 2000 and was extremely successful with over 250 delegates attending.

The second meeting was in Adelaide, Australia in 2003 and it was both a scientific and financial success.

The third meeting was held in Dublin, Ireland on May 18-21, 2005.

The World Congress of Perinatal Medicine was held in Florence, Italy on September 9-13, 2007.

The 2008 meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, USA from January 28 to February 2.

The 2009 meeting was held in San Diego, California on January 29.

The 9th World Congress of Perinatal Medicine took place in Berlin, Germany, October 24–28, 2009.

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine meeting will be held on February 1-6, 2010, in Chicago, Illinois USA.
