You might think it's early to start thinking about the 2019 Annual Meeting, but the Annual Meeting Subcommittee has already been hard at work putting together another great program. Kristy Brock heads the Scientific Program. Carri Glide-Hurst and Ke Sheng are the Scientific Therapy Track Director and Co-Director, and Web Stayman and Ioannis Sechopoulos are the Director and Co-Director for the Scientific Imaging Track. Carri and Web are also the Co-Directors for the Multidisciplinary Track. Chris Diederich and Tian Liu are Co-Directors for the Specialty Track on Ultrasound. On the Education side, Tyler Fisher is the Education Program Director. Georgeta Mihai and Frank Dong are Director and Co-Director for the Education Imaging Track, while Robin Miller and Dave Carlson fill those roles for the Education Therapy Track. Brian Wang is Practical Track Director, and Tyler serves as the Co-Director. For the Professional Program, Jeff Limmer is the Program Director, with Eileen Cirino as Professional Track Director and Erin Angel as Professional Track Co-Director. Norman Brown is in charge of Technical Exhibits as well as the Partners in Solution and Guided Tours programs. Behind the scenes, Tyler Blackwell heads the Analysis and Evaluation team.

What's new for 2019? First off, we're changing the Joint Imaging Therapy Track to the Multidisciplinary Track, to better reflect its purpose of breaking down silos and showcasing the synergies between imaging and therapy. This is more than just a cosmetic name change. The track directors are carefully selecting topics that will be of interest to all physicists. To ensure that the sessions are truly multidisciplinary, each session will have one therapy and one imaging physics organizer, and there will be at least one speaker from each discipline.

We're finally leaving paper behind and moving to 100% eposters. No more schlepping or shipping posters, or hoping they get printed in time. View all the posters you're interested in from one spot. Best in Physics and Campus poster presentations will continue in the ePoster Theater, and additional eposter viewing kiosks will be set up throughout the exhibit hall.

Navigating the meeting keeps getting easier. The taxonomy categories that were introduced for invited sessions last year will be expanded in 2019 to all sessions, including the proffered talks. These will make your searches easier and more productive. In addition, we'll be introducing roadmaps that will provide guidance and focus on specific topics or tracks.

The meeting will be held in the newly expanded San Antonio Convention Center. Yes, it'll be warm in Texas in July, but you can cool off in the evenings enjoying a frozen margarita along the Riverwalk. San Antonio offers a large variety of restaurants with cuisines ranging from barbecue to Tex Mex to fine dining. And don't forget the Alamo!
