The annual meeting of ESHRE, the world's leading event in reproductive medicine, is only weeks away - and the press programme almost complete. Once again the meeting promises one of the best sources of news and features in fertility and reproductive medicine. This year's event will take place in Istanbul from 1st-4th July.

More than 8000 of the world's leading experts in reproduction are expected this year, and, from a total of more than 1700 abstracts of new research submitted, ten have been selected for the press programme.

The programme will comprise ten press releases (issued under embargo a few days in advance) and a news briefing on each of the three congress days. Here, investigators will describe their research and answer press questions on its scientific and public health implications.

Topics to be covered include:

The news briefings will take place at 10.30 am on Monday 2nd July and Tuesday 3rd July, and at 09.30 am on Wednesday 4th July. Each news briefing will cover three topics, with short presentations from investigators.

Press releases will be available on the ESHRE website once the embargoes have lifted, and otherwise issued a few days in advance under embargo. One press release suitably embargoed for Monday publications will also be issued.

ESHRE welcomes journalists to the meeting, and a serviced press room with support materials and wi-fi connection will be available. Registration is free to bona fide journalists on presentation of official press credentials.

ESHRE's media policy requires accreditation with a recognised press card or commissioning letter from an editor confirming the assignment. Before seeking registration, you should check ESHRE's media policy, which is accessible at http://tiny.cc/37cwfw
