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.

BMES年度秋季会议是由生物医学工程学会(BMES)举办的一次高质量的多学科科学活动。今年？S会议由康涅狄格大学和布朗大学联合主办，将于2011年10月12日至15日在康涅狄格州哈特福德举行，会议将包括为期一天的研讨会、至少四次全体讲座、大量的研究报告、各种特别会议以及为BME社区成员提供的几个宝贵的网络机会。将有14个平行的技术方案会议，提供800多个口头演示文稿和1,600多个海报演示文稿。特别会议将包括几位杰出的BME讲师和一场？会见候选人？将促进BME就业机会的海报会议。会前研讨会，BME-IDEA？将处理生物医学工程中关于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/写作工作坊”和“BMES市政厅会议”，将使参与者有机会了解生物医学工程师的职业生涯，如何申请工作机会，并了解社会和学科的现状。预计2011年会议的出席人数将达到创纪录的3500多人。可能创纪录的出席人数是因为2010年会议收到了非常多的摘要(即2,182份，比2009年的提交数量增加了23%)，再加上哈特福德位于纽约市和波士顿之间的东北部，非常方便，对会议友好。一本小册子将向会议的参与者提供计划的详细信息。所有技术介绍将来自一页经同行审查的摘要，这些摘要将以光盘格式汇编并分发给所有注册者。该光盘的副本也将提供给所有共同赞助的社团。目前，由于接受了大量高质量的摘要，裁谈会预计将作为会议的唯一技术议事程序。在本次大会上，在没有其他活动的情况下，安排了至少四位质量极高的全体演讲者，以便所有与会者既可以参加这些讲座，也可以参加研讨会。2011年的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和美敦力。
