For NMC annual meeting veterans, the upcoming NMC 51st Annual Meeting will have a noticeably different look.
The meeting will still begin on a Sunday (January 22) but rather than ending on Wednesday at noon (as has been the tradition in the past), the conference will go through Tuesday evening (January 24). There will be no educational sessions on Wednesday (only the Board of Directors will meet).
Another significant change is that committee meetings will be spread out over three days (Sunday - Tuesday) rather than holding all committee meetings on Monday, as in the past.
The main reason for the change was to make the meeting more compact and time efficient.
A brief overview is below. Details will follow in the next few weeks.
Sunday, January 22, 2012
• Board of Directors meeting
• Committee meetings (early morning)
• Short Courses (afternoon & evening)
Monday, January 23, 2012
• Committee meetings (early morning)
• Opening session (morning)
• General session (afternoon)
• Research & development summaries (afternoon)
• Poster session (all day)
• Reception (evening)
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
• Committee meetings (early morning)
• General session (morning)
• Awards and business luncheon (noon)
• Poster session (through mid-afternoon)
• Featured symposium (afternoon)
• Short courses (evening)
• Meeting adjourns after short courses (evening)
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
• Board of Directors meeting (morning)
The best day to arrive for the meeting will be Saturday or Sunday, depending on whether you serve on a committee or plan to participate in a short course on Sunday. Since the meeting continues through Tuesday evening, flying out on Wednesday morning will be the best option.
