June 26-28, 2008
Salt Lake City, Utah
Top reasons to attend this year’s Annual Scientifi c Meeting:
Great Program: We are excited to have Paul Spark (Kronheim lecture: Raising of the Kursk) and
Michael Holick, MD (Bangasser lecture: The D-sasterous Health Consequences of Vitamin D Defi -
ciency) as keynote speakers. Nine additional plenary sessions (presented by world-renowned
speakers), 170 posters, and 48 oral abstracts will be organized into 6 half-day sessions. The
best trainee abstracts will be showcased in one noon session, when the audience will vote on
the best trainee oral presentation and best trainee poster.
Great Ancillary Events: Come early for Decompression and the Deep Stop (June 24-25) or
Wound Care Workshop: Evidence-Based and Hands-On (June 25). Additional content will be
presented at the Associates/BNA sessions, which run alongside the Scientifi c Program. Stay an
extra day for Intermountain Divers Day (June 29).
Great Location: Warm, sunny days, cool nights, and low humidity. Utah is an outdoor paradise,
with hiking or mountain biking just minutes from downtown or in nearby national parks.
Dining, shopping, and nightlife are easily accessible on foot or by light rail (free downtown).
Don’t miss the Utah Arts Festival June 26-29, where hundreds of visual, performing, and culinary
artists draw a crowd of 80,000 to Library Square each year. See the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir rehearse or perform. Venture out a bit farther to the red rock paradise of Utah’s national
parks or the Utah Shakespearean Festival, just 3 hours south of Salt Lake.
