INFORMATION FOR ATTENDEES

(Please register for the Conference via this website)

History:  This series of biennial conferences began in 1991, and have been held in various parts of the U.S. and one in Lake Como, Italy. Each conference is held in a smaller venue, usually on the water, and the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Almost every person attending is expected to present a paper relating to some aspect of neuroprotection, and to participate in discussions during each session. 

Typical format:  Participants are expected to arrive on Sunday afternoon.   Check-in begins at 3:00pm.

Sessions begin Monday morning, with two to  six speakers, each giving a twenty-minute presentation on a single topic related to neuroprotection. A short panel discussion, consisting of the speakers during each session, is held and open to questions from any attendee.

Subsequent sessions are arranged, by topic – and these may be purely basic research or entirely clinical in nature, or both.  

EVERY Person attending pays conference registration and lodging expenses, including the officers of the corporation.  There are no exceptions.

PUBLICATION:  Proceedings of every conference (except the first in 1991) have been published by the New York Academy of Sciences.  On this website, you will find the titles of all papers anticipated to appear in the NY Acac Sci Annals volume from the September 2008 Conference held at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
