Dear Colleague,

The Scientific Program and Annual Meeting Planning Committees have diligently prepared a dynamic roster of programming and events emphasizing the 2008 Annual Meeting theme Focus on Learning in addition to all that the city of Chicago has to offer.

The scientific program features the latest technological innovations and scientific advances from all areas of neurosurgery within the practical clinics, breakfast seminars, plenary sessions and scientific programming. New this year, we will offer all poster presentations in an easy to use electronic format enabling attendees to search by topic, title or author. We will also continue the offerings in current socioeconomic topics as well as provide a special scientific session, Neurosurgery with the Chicago Masters.

The Annual Meeting social program has embraced the host city, Chicago, highlighting the best the city has to offer. We will begin the meeting with our Opening Reception at Navy Pier, the most visited attraction in the state of Illinois. Reunite with friends and develop new relationships while enjoying Chicago’s wonderful food and entertainment. Also offered this year are two evening opportunities, Second City and the world renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra in addition to daily activities for your guests.
