In early 2008, our aims were effectively achieved at the first meeting in Croatia at the Dubrovnik Palace Hotel, with in-depth presentations from both the scientific and medical communities (EPPM-1). These ranged from basic photochemistry and the newest photosensitisers, to those already well established therapies and early clinical results in a wide range of modalities of treatment.
The conference was opened by Professor Zorc, Professor Moghissi and Professor Jori on Tuesday the 25th March and closed on Thursday the 27th March by Professor Zorc and Professor Moghissi, the First President of the EPPM, who thanked the organisers, the speakers and the participants. The organising committee, particularly Professor Zorc, are to be sincerely congratulated for providing the infrastructure for a wonderful first meeting.
The in-conference discussion was lively and relevant and carried over into the arranged events, proving to be an efficient and profitable networking forum; not only were old friendships re-visited but new ones established which will, no doubt, lead to flourishing working and research relationships.

Lastly, the 2008 council and the executive officers of the EPPM were nominated and voted in at this meeting. Thus ended the historic first conference of the EPPM. For archives of the conference, please see the 2008 EPPM-1 Home Page.
