The 2016 Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park located in a charming neighborhood in the heart of Washington, DC. We hope to build on the tremendous success of the 2015 Nice meeting, the best attended meeting in the Society’s history. We plan a traditional meeting schedule, opening on Wednesday and closing on Saturday. The format of the Washington meeting will be similar to previous meetings, beginning with a day of pre-meeting symposia on Wednesday morning and closing mid-day Saturday. The majority of the meeting will be devoted to submitted content. In anticipation of contributions of high quality, novel scientific work, we plan to run concurrent oral sessions to showcase the highest scoring abstracts and mini-oral sessions and general poster sessions are planned to share other excellent submitted work with our members.
