IAAAM Conference News

Message from the IAAAM President-Elect

Dear IAAAM Members,

It’s only August but already Rob Laughlin and I have been hard at work planning the 2011 IAAAM conference at the Mirage in Las Vegas. We are striving to get information to you as early as possible and in order to do that we need your help.

If you are interested in proposing a workshop to be held before or after the conference- you will need to fill out the workshop proposal form and return it to me (lmazzaro@aol.com or fax to 860-572-5972) NO LATER THAN October 1st 2010. Rob and I will work to provide space for as many workshops as possible and will respond with decisions by November 1st. All conference costs will be available on the registration form so we’ll need you to determine your workshop costs in a timely manner so that registration can go live right after the first of the year.

This is also your first official call for abstracts for the 2011 IAAAM Conference. Please read the instructions for abstract submission carefully and pay attention to the details. Perfect abstract submissions will be eligible for prizes!! The abstract due date is February 11th 2011 so please plan accordingly.

Finally, please consider asking your respective organizations to be sponsors at this year’s meeting. You can sponsor a specific event (coffee break, breakfast, etc) or just sponsor the conference in general. Even small sponsorship amount will help us offset costs and be able to offer more for your conference registration cost.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Lisa Mazzaro
President-Elect
