The meeting will be held in the Janss Auditorium of the Snowmass Conference Center, in a small wraparound conference room, which can accommodate approximately 80 people.
The goal of this conference is to discuss important or evolving concepts in bone biology and clinical bone disease in a small and informal group setting.
Past participants in this meeting have enjoyed the relaxed environment and serious scientific and clinical discussions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU REGISTER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE !!
A check for the registration fee of $250 should be made out to AIMM and returned, along with the enclosed registration form, to Lori Ballou, as soon as possible.
The atmosphere is enhanced by the midday break (9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.), which most use to enjoy a variety of activities available in the Aspen/Snowmass area, such as downhill and cross-country skiing, tennis, hiking and relaxation.
One of the enjoyable features of this meeting has been the ability to combine an interesting scientific medical program with family recreation. We encourage you to bring your families with you.
This year we have booked space at the Silvertree Hotel, located on the slope, at a special rate of $142 per night single or double occupancy, and at the Hotel Wildwood, immediately next to the Conference Center, at a rate of $115 per night for single or double occupancy.
There will be a $25 per night charge for each additional person at both hotels.
