Dear Friends,

The 9^th annual conference of CONVERGENCES PP 2023 held in Barcelona, Spain, came to its end on Saturday 21^st of October!

We have enjoyed two and a half days of highest-level scientific exchanges, in an exceptional environment, thanks to both the prestigious state-of-the-art venue and the outstanding organization.

We must therefore congratulate our congress chairs, Lara Quintas and Oriol Porta for their brilliant work and the friendly atmosphere, which has allowed us to enjoy this meeting.

I would also like to thank the speakers for the high level of the presentations’ scientific quality and all the participants for their valuable contributions. We have all been enriched by these exchanges and confrontations of ideas.

No CONVERGENCES PP congress will be held in 2024 since the society will join other Chronic Pelvic-Perineal Pain (CPPP) societies on the 6^th World Congress on Abdomino-Pelvic Pain (WCAPP 6). Every 3 years, the WCAPP is organized by one of the three following societies: IPPS, IASP Sig and CONVERGENCES PP.

In 2024, our American friends from IPPS will be in charge of the organization of the World Congress, which will be held in the magnificent city of Cartagena, in Colombia, from 16th to 19^th of October 2024. CONVERGENCES PP will take part of the congress in the organizing committee. I hope that many of you will be able to join us there.

Best wishes,

Eric Bautrant
President of CONVERGENCES PP
