Dear friends and colleagues,

with great pleasure we invite you to our 17^th annual „Dresden Symposium”.

The meeting in March has become the kick-off for the academic year of clinicians and researchers who are interested in improving care of new-borns. During the past decade, we had the honour to host many dear friends and colleagues in Dresden and to provide an atmosphere for scientific exchange.

We are excited to welcome you in person in Dresden. Asalready introduced a decade ago, we will also provide onlineaccess for participants who are not able to come. We hope tokeep the spirit of the meeting alive and to provide a platform for intensive exchange between clinicians and scientists who
are interested in Delivery Room Management and in new developments in neonatology.
