The diversity is evident in the amenities found in and around greater Phoenix. The technical program of the 2001 meeting is shaping up to be one that should not be missed. The plenary session will be held in magnificent Orpheum Theatre and will feature various leaders of the environmental community. The poster session will once again be highlighted, and the spacious Phoenix Civic Center will allow us to display each of the posters throughout the entire meeting. Abstracts for technical papers are beginning to stream in and they consist of a broad variety of topics that will make for an interesting and informative week of presentations.
Special symposia promise to be the most progressive yet.
As always, Continuing Education workshops will be offered to assist us in our journey of science and education . Scheduled events for the meeting include entertainment that highlights Native American heritage and a glimpse of our Western and Mexican cultures at the Corona Ranch Social. Spouses will have the opportunity to visit the beautiful red rock canyons of Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and much more. Phoenix - a unique setting for a unique meeting.
