It is with great pleasure that we are finally able to welcome you to the 10th International
Lymphoedema Framework Conference, ILF 2021, in collaboration with the Danish
Wound Healing Society (DSFS) and the Danish Lymphoedema Framework (DNL/DLF).
The uninvited guest COVID-19 not only changed daily life for many people all over the world – it also influenced the
planning of our conference and forced us to reschedule more than once. Therefore, it is with great enthusiasm that
we are now able to introduce to you the ILF 2021 as a HYBRID conference. A “hybrid conference” is one of many new
interventions caused by COVID-19, and we are excited to present a programme with both live and online presentations
and participants – allowing people living in countries with travel restrictions as well as in low-resource countries to
be included in this truly international event.
We are extremely pleased that so many of you have had the patience to wait for this conference. We trust that the
programme prepared for you with scientific presentations, patient-dedicated sessions on the Saturday Patient Day,
as well as the large industry exhibition will offer you plenty of activities and new learnings over the next days.
For COVID-19 information please consult the “General Information” section in this programme book. If you experience
any COVID-19 symptoms, then please do not enter the conference venue but contact the conference secretariat for
guidance. Please sanitise hands frequently and take good care of each other!
Enjoy the conference and please do not forget to find some time to also enjoy the city of Copenhagen.
Welcome to the ILF and DSFS 2021 conference!
