This year, we head to Gordon Moore’s hometown, Rochester, New York.  The conference will be held at the Rochester Academy of Medicine, a beautiful stately mansion built in the 1800’s.  

IMP Camp 2008 is partially funded by a grant thanks to Gordon’s hard work and by lots of IMP sweat equity.

 

Registration Includes:

Early Bird Registration (before April 1): $125
Regular Conference Fee (on or after April 1):  $150

Meals included:  Friday lunch and dinner, Sat. breakfast and lunch, and snacks.

Transport from airport to hotel provided by hotel.  Shuttles (for inclement weather) (or walking 1 ¼ miles) to conference, so you probably won’t need to rent a car unless you have special needs.  If you choose to stay in another hotel, shuttle to conference is not guaranteed.

Each participant will receive an IMP shirt to help spread the word.
(Wear it everywhere:  other conferences, meetings, casual days in the office…)

CME Credit of 20 hours for Friday and Saturday will be available.

Conference starts first thing Friday morning, so please arrange to arrive Thursday evening.
