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.
