Emergency goes to Livorno

The annual meeting of the national nonprofit organization Emergency will not be held in Florence this year. The Florence-born association of volunteer medical professionals will hold its conference in the Tuscan port city of Livorno on June 26 to 29, 2013. Drawing thousands of people each year, Emergency’s national meeting features cultural events and shows, debates and discussions that promote the ideals for which the association stands: peace, solidarity and human rights. The location in Livorno is still unknown, though the event may be located at the PalaLivorno, which has more than 8,000 seats. Emergency has worked for 18 years in war-torn and impoverished areas across the world and has treated more than 5 million people. For details, see www.emergency.it
