Season’s greetings!
We are seven months away from the 2020 World Congress of Music Therapy. Early bird registration has been open for 6 weeks and we are happy to report that delegates from around the world are registering. I encourage you to make use of the early bird rate.
On the registration page, you will find information about the pre-congress seminars as well as the social events.
I want to make a special mention to those of you involved in education. Please encourage your students to attend. The 2020 World Congress of Music Therapy will be a special opportunity for all of us.
