This preliminary program page will be updated as follows: in September 2008, after the ASN Scientific Program Committee has evaluated and scheduled the late-breaking symposia proposals; and again in December 2008 after the scheduling of the minisymposia has been completed and finalized. Each ASN member will receive the EB2009 Call for Abstracts in September, 2008. The Call will carry ALL minisymposia topic categories selected by the program committee for presentation at EB2009. Society selected special functions, social events, business and committee meetings will be posted to the site when arrangements have been completed and finalized in December of 2008.
