Greetings everyone:
New England Cytometry is pleased to announce the date for our annual Fall meeting. It will be on November 1st, 2011 from 8:00 am to 5 pm at the beautiful Starr Center at the Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston.
http://www.schepens.harvard.edu/starr_centerAs always, we look forward to interact with the vendors who provide us the tools and supplies to make our Research and Diagnostic work a reality. As well, our meeting success depends on sponsorship from our vendors. As many of you know, our last few meetings have been very successful, with attendance from 125 - 185 people spanning the US and Canada. We are offering the opportunity to sponsor breakfast and breaks. Please contact me directly if you are considering sponsoring one of the breaks or more than one table. This year we are limiting the number of vendor tables to avoid overcrowding and not getting prime table locations for our vendors. Please contact me or register on line as soon as you can.
As we are all facing difficult financial times and to allow more of our exhibitors to attend this conference we are DECREASING our vendor table rates from last year:
6 foot table [2 attendees admitted] $600.00
[2] 6 foot tables [4 attendees admitted] $1,100.00 [***Please contact me directly***].
Literature Only [no attendee, we will set up] $400.00 [***Please contact me directly***].
Additional Vendor attendees will incur a registration fee of $75.00. [***You can register them online].
Please let me know if you will require any electrical outlets for instrumentation or computer workstations. There is a nearby loading dock and street access for literature or instrumentation. If you will be shipping anything to the conference, please contact me as well.
I look forward to working with you to make our meeting a mutual success.
We have an excellent line up of speakers again this year:
