Dear ACMEGS member, dear colleague,

It is my pleasure to invite you to come to 6^th annual ACMEGS meeting to be held in San Antonio in Texas from February 8-9, 2012.  The highlight of the 2012 meeting is the Clinical MEG Course that provides up to 7 CME AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.  This course was designed especially for our colleagues who want to engage into clinical MEG or who are relatively new to the field.

Registration Fee:

The course registration fee is $200, and for our members with 2011 institutional membership (please check here) it will be only $150, for our associate members it will only be $100.00.  For more details check our web site.

The meeting registration fee for ACMEGS members with 2011 institutional membership (please check here) as well as for associate members is $75, for ACMEGS members from all other sites $150.

Non-members are welcome to join our sessions following the business meeting for a reduced fee of $75.

The registration fee for our members includes meeting materials as well as the traditional society dinner.  Please RSVP at our website if you plan to attend the society dinner.

Registrations fee as well as membership fee can be paid electronically via our web site. We accept checks only for on-site registration.

Call for Abstracts:

As part of the 2012 annual meeting of the American Clinical MEG Society, there will be a scientific poster session.  We will invite again selected posters from our colleagues from ACNS.  Please send your abstracts (limited to 250 words in the text body) to michael.funke@hsc.utah.edu before January 9, 2011, so that appropriate presentation space can be reserved.  Poster size will be 8’ wide by 4’ tall.

As part of the poster session, there will be a special opportunity for you to highlight hardware gadgets your team has designed to aid in MEG experiments (e.g., special response switches, interface boxes, etc.).  We would also like to encourage you to present on software packages you have developed for MEG data analysis.  A primary goal of this special hardware/software section is to help make everyone aware of what is out there so that each lab can stop reinventing wheels that others have perfected

Accommodations:

ACMEGS has reserved a block of rooms at the San Antonio Marriot Rivercenter.  Registrants may make their room reservations through the ACNS website www.acns.org

Reservations are subject to availability.  Room rates can only be guaranteed until January 10, 2012.  Rates are $204 Single or Double plus charges and tax.

Transportation:

The Marriot Rivercenter hotel does NOT provide shuttle services.  You need to plan for alternative transportation from the airport.

The San Antonio International Airport is located just 8 miles from the hotel.  The airport is served by most major airlines.  To get to the hotel from the airport, taxis are readily available (cost of fare to the hotel is approximately $22 each way), or you can take the Airport Express shuttle (210.281-9900) for $18, one way.

I look forward seeing you all in San Antonio in February 2012.

Michael E Funke, M.D., Ph.D.

President, ACMEGS
