We are pleased to announce that the first Birt Hogg Dube Symposium will be held in Roskilde, Denmark, on September 3, 2008. We look forward to the opportunity for those interested in BHD to meet in sessions that will present research and clinical aspects of the syndrome.

Roskilde is located on a beautiful fjord approximately one hour west of Copenhagen and is accessible by public transportation, rental car or taxi. It is a city with a rich cultural history that goes back to 998; it was the original capitol of the country. Vikings sailed the fjord and the Viking Ship Museum houses five original Viking ships. Roskilde Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the burial place of Danish royalty. The city has many walking streets with shops and boutiques.

This BHD Symposium will be held the day before the VHL Symposium 2008. Both meetings will be held at the Comwell Conference Center, which overlooks the fjord. Roskilde was chosen as the conference site due to the affordability and accessibility of the conference site and housing,

Accommodation for the night of Sept. 2 is at the Scandic Roskilde, while from Sept. 3 there are rooms available at the Comwell conference center.
