The First International Twins Conference held in the Czech Republic (CR) took place in Prague on October 20–21, 2011. The conference, ‘Life With Twins’, was arranged under the auspices of the Parliament's Commission for Family and Equal Opportunities. The setting was an auditorium in one of the Parliament's magnificent old buildings. Mrs. Klara Vitkova Rulikovà, mother of 18-year-old opposite-sex twins, chairperson of the Czech multiple birth association (CAKDAV) and member of the International Council of Multiple Birth Organizations (ICOMBO), was instrumental in organizing the meeting. Mrs. Vitkova Ruliková has also authored three books on twins and parenting, and was responsible for writing the Epilogue for my 2005 book, Indivisible by Two: Lives of Extraordinary Twins (Ned litelnà Dvěma: životy Výjime ných Dvojǎt), which was translated into Czech by Triton Press in 2009. She is currently working in the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. She is shown in Figure 1 addressing the conference.
