Thermo Scientific Annual MS Users’ Meeting & ASMS Customer Appreciation Event Date: Sunday, May 23rd Time: 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. Registration, 8:00 a.m.– 12:00 p.m. Users’ Meeting, 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Customer Event Location: Grand America Hotel, Grand Ballroom, 555 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Join us for a morning of informative presentations to find out how industry leaders are ‘Driving Bold Progress’ in mass spectrometry. Following the plenary talk, hear about your specific applications in break-out sessions for proteomics, drug discovery & development and food safety& clinical research. Immediately after the Users’ Meeting, join us for our annual ASMS Customer Appreciation Event. We'll transport you to the Clark Planetarium, featuring a 3-D IMAX theater and a variety of interactive space and science exhibits.. For a truly memorable ASMS experience, get your picture taken on a lunar landscape, try your luck at predicting the weather, and find out how much you would weigh on different planets. Lunch will be provided onsite. 
If you are unable to attend, please register to pre-order your copy of the Thermo Scientific Products, Posters and Presentations Conference Resource CD from the 58th ASMS Conference. |
