We hope you find this website user-friendly. The buttons on the left will show you the Congress Schedule, Key Dates, Registration, will provide information for Sponsors/Exhibitors and the Media, and how to Contact Us. The links across the top of the page should provide easy access to the Abstract Submission process, air and Travel information, Hotels and a Downtown Hotel Map, how to request Financial Aid, an Invitation Letter should you need a visa, and Other Conferences you might be interested in attending. We plan to build a participant list which you’ll be able to access by the See Who’s Coming link. If you are looking for a certain topic, use the search box to find applicable pages and then use “control f” once you arrive on that page. Keep checking back for regular updates to the site. Finally, we hope it’s not “all meeting and no play.” We hope you plan to spend a few days sightseeing before or after the Congress around St. Louis or in neighboring cities that are all within easy driving distance. Check the Seeing St. Louis On Your Own link for some ideas on where to go and what to see. And although concurrent symposia will be running Wednesday afternoon during the Congress, you can choose if you want to take a pre-arranged tour with Destination St. Louis. They have planned trips to either the St. Louis Arch, the Missouri Botanical Garden, or to Monsanto Company and the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. See the Tours Wednesday Afternoon link to find out more. |
