Dear colleagues,
 
Without revealing everything – even if it’s urgent! – I cannot resist the pleasure of sharing an amuse-bouche with you: the pre-program of our Congress. 
 
1*  I can already announce that Mrs Barbara Wolffer, the Director of the Institut Français d’Israel, will welcome us in her amphitheater in Tel Aviv the day before the Congress, on May 31^st from 3 to 5 pm. We will take part in an exchange between the filmmaker Nurith Aviv, Éric Laurent and Perla Miglin under the title, “Urgent Tel Aviv in the Film of Nurith Aviv.” We will have the pleasure of welcoming Angelina Harari, President of the WAP. 
 
2*  The next morning, June 1^st at 8 am, the members of the NLS will assemble for their Annual General Meeting.
 
3*  The Congress will start at 11 am in plenary session. After the opening remarks, the Clinical Conversation will begin, chaired by Éric Laurent.
 
4*  This will be followed by sequences centered on our clinical practices and the CPCTs, interspersed with readings and commentary on citations from Lacan. One sequence will be devoted to cartels and chaired by Frank Rollier. The afternoon will end at 5 pm.
 
5*  On Sunday morning at 9 am we will start the day with a sequence with our AS, who will be invited to a discussion with Alexandre Stevens under the title, “The Urgency of Life.”
 
6*  Then, at 10 am the parallel sessions will start. 24 colleagues will present their clinical vignettes in four rooms at the Cameri Theater. Two sequences per room. 
 
7*  We will take a half-hour break between 12:30 and 1 pm.
 
8*  At 1 pm Angelina Harari wil present the 2020 Congress of the WAP. Éric Laurent will then present the 2020 Congress of the NLS.
 
9*  At 2 pm Pamela King will offer the concluding remarks and the Congress will end at 2:15 pm.
