We're gearing up for another exciting and enlightening meeting this year, and some of the best presentations will be yours. The Annual Meeting Abstract Submission System is open for business now through March 8. Take advantage of this opportunity to present to the medical physics community all the good work you are doing. Please encourage undergraduates you know and/or are working with to submit their abstracts for the Society of Physics Students' special Undergraduate Research and Outreach poster session. As I mentioned in my previous column, this year we are requesting the author of each scientific abstract to select a category, subcategory, and up to three keywords to be associated with their abstract. These will help attendees better navigate the meeting so they won't miss anything of special interest to them.

With the large number of high quality abstracts we receive, this year we will be expanding the number of electronic posters and increasing the number of ePoster viewing stations. In addition to general viewing for ePosters, we will continue to present Moderated ePoster sessions in the ePoster Theater as well as General ePoster presentations at selected ePoster stations throughout the Exhibit Hall.

In addition to the proffered talks, we have a full program of symposia and educational courses scheduled. See here for highlights as well as a list of topics to be presented.

Registration opens March 21. See you in Nashville!
