Welcome! Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to be part of the 6th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles in Toronto, Canada, from 18‐21 May 2017. It is our honor to organize this meeting where scientists from around the globe share the latest information on extracellular vesicles. Extracellular vesicles represent a new paradigm both in cell biology and medicine. They are considered to offer unprecedented opportunities for future applications from new generation diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers to therapeutic applications. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) was founded in 2011, and as the authoritative international community for extracellular vesicle research, it focuses on all aspects of extracellular vesicle investigations. Over the past few years, ISEV meetings have received an increasing number of abstracts due to the outstanding quality of these events. For ISEV2017 we expect at least 800 abstracts. The scientific program of ISEV2017 includes a broad range of educational and scientific sessions covering the entire spectrum of topics relevant for the extracellular vesicle. We have expanded our Pre‐Meeting Education Day program to include parallel sessions on two different topics (“EV therapeutics” and “Modern methods for EV isolation and quantification”). Parallel scientific oral sessions, posters, and short oral poster presentations will provide platforms to present the newest developments in the field. Between oral and poster presentations, there will be ample opportunity for networking and exhibition visits. In keeping with ISEV tradition, we will have “Meet the Experts” sessions to get overviews and discussions on hot topics as well as “Satellite Meetings” which brings together regional societies from across the globe. ISEV2017 will have an attractive social program as well. By providing an insight into the most recent unpublished data of extracellular vesicle research, ISEV meetings create a unique competitive advantage for our academic and commercial partner attendees. In the West Harbour Castle Conference Center, our exhibition floor will be interspersed with poster boards and refreshments during lunches and coffee breaks to provide optimal opportunity for personal and scientific interactions. We are committed to creating a most memorable scientific congress. Through your participation, interest, and support, you will highly contribute to the success of the meeting and the advancement of the novel extracellular vesicle studies. In this brochure, we offer various promotional opportunities for your company to create an impact in this rapidly growing and exciting field. We look forward to seeing you in Toronto! On behalf of the International Organizing Committee,
