2011 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting, Hartford, Connecticut, October 12-15, 2011

1144998 Peterson BMES年度秋季会议是由生物医学工程学会（BMES）举办的高质量，多学科的科学活动。今年？会议由康涅狄格大学和布朗大学共同主办，将于2011年10月12日至15日在康涅狄格州哈特福德举行，并将举办为期一天的研讨会，至少四次全体讲座，许多研究报告，各种特别会议，以及BME社区成员的几个宝贵的网络机会。共有14个平行的技术项目会议，提供800多个口头报告和额外的1，600多个海报报告。特别会议将包括几个杰出的BME讲师和？会见候选人？海报会议，将促进BME就业机会。会议前的研讨会，？BME-IDEA？将处理生物医学工程技术转让和商业化的重要当代问题。其他特别会议，包括？职业校友小组？，简历审查/写作研讨会？，然后呢？BMES市政厅会议？，让参加者有机会了解生物医学工程师的职业，如何申请工作机会，并了解社会和学科的现状。预计2011年会议将有创纪录的3,500多名与会者。与会人数可能创纪录是因为2010年会议收到的摘要数量非常多（即，2，182，比2009年的提交数量增加了23%），再加上会议友好型哈特福德位于纽约市和波士顿之间的东北部。一本小册子将向会议与会者提供方案细节。所有技术演示文稿都将来自一页的同行评审摘要，这些摘要将以CD格式汇编并分发给所有注册人。还将向所有共同赞助协会提供光盘。目前，由于接受了大量高质量的摘要，预计裁谈会将成为会议的唯一技术记录。在这次会议上，在没有其他活动的时间内安排了至少四位非常高质量的全体发言人，以便所有与会者都可以参加这些会谈以及研讨会。2011年会议目前有六个主要赞助商的赞助承诺，包括康涅狄格大学、布朗大学、Covidien和Medtronic。

1144998PetersonThe BMES Annual Fall Meeting is a high quality, multidisciplinary scientific event conducted by the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). This year?s Meeting is co-hosted by the University of Connecticut and Brown University and will be held in Hartford, Connecticut, from October 12-15, 2011, and will feature a one-day workshop, at least four plenary lectures, numerous research presentations, a variety of special sessions, and several valuable networking opportunities for members of the BME community. There will be a total of 14 parallel technical program sessions providing over 800 oral presentations and an additional 1,600+ in poster presentations. Special sessions will include several distinguished BME lecturers and a ?Meet the Candidates? poster session that will promote BME employment opportunities. The pre-conference workshop, ?BME-IDEA? will deal with important contemporary issues in Biomedical Engineering on technology transfer and commercialization. Other special sessions, including ?Career Alumni Panel?, Resume Review/Writing Workshop?, and ?BMES Town Hall Meeting?, will give participants an opportunity to understand the career of a biomedical engineer, how to apply for job opportunities, and learn about the current state of the society and discipline. A record 3,500+ attendees are anticipated for the 2011 meeting. The potential record attendance is based upon the very high number of abstracts received for the 2010 meeting (i.e., 2,182, which is a 23% increase over the number of submissions in 2009) coupled with the fact that conference-friendly Hartford is very conveniently-located in the Northeast between New York City and Boston. A booklet will provide program details to the participants of the conference. All technical presentations will come from one-page, peer-reviewed abstracts, which will be compiled in CD format and distributed to all registrants. Copies of the CD will also be provided to all co-sponsoring societies. Currently, the CD is envisioned to serve as the only technical proceedings of the meeting due to the large number of high-quality abstracts accepted. At this conference, at least four extremely high-quality plenary speakers are scheduled during a time with no other activities so that all conference participants may attend these talks as well as the workshops. The 2011 meeting currently has sponsorship commitments from six major sponsors, including the University of Connecticut, Brown University, Covidien, and Medtronic.
