Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I would like to invite you to attend the 2009 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition,
November 8–12, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Every year scientists around the
world anticipate the AAPS Annual Meeting as the event that showcases late-breaking
research, validates scientific methodology, and showcases the latest technology,
services, and supplies for their research needs. This year, AAPS is awaiting our return
to the West Coast and exploring Los Angeles for the first time!
With an anticipated attendance of 8,000 including representation from dozens
of countries, the AAPS Annual Meeting is the one meeting you do not want to miss.
It is a prime opportunity for you to showcase your research, network with other
scientists performing similar work, and contact potential employers and clients.
In addition, the educational program will include concentrated short courses,
symposia, roundtables, sunrise sessions, and over 2,000 contributed papers
covering the very latest research in the pharmaceutical sciences. At the 2009 AAPS
Annual Meeting and Exposition you will have the opportunity to select from over
90 programming sessions that include expert speakers from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, National Institutes of Health, leading pharmaceutical companies,
and academia.
We encourage you to explore the preliminary program which contains all the
information you need to make your trip to the 2009 Annual Meeting and Exposition
a success. Enclosed you will find further details regarding programming, scheduling,
AAPS section membership meetings and receptions, as well as travel and
housing information.
November 8–12, 2009 are dates to block out now so you don’t miss a single day
of the AAPS Annual Meeting & Exposition; the biggest pharmaceutical sciences
event of the year!
See you in Los Angeles!
Patrick P. DeLuca, Ph.D.
2009 AAPS President
