Baltimore meeting a success - 8/3-5, 2009
ISMTE just concluded its 2nd Annual US Meeting in Baltimore, August 4-5. With 60 participants, our attendance doubled from 2008's inaugural meeting. Thanks to the excellent speakers, especially Kent Anderson and Peter Binfield. And thanks to the attendees, whose enthusiastic participation in discussion and Q&A sessions was equally valuable. We all came home with new ideas to consider and answers to questions we'd brought to the meeting -- not to mention connections to peers we can contact throughout the year! Don't miss out on the UK Conference August 25, 2009 in Oxford.
