The highlight of the SMDM calendar is our three-day annual Fall meeting preceded by a full-day of optional Short Courses. We commit each year to an intellectually rigorous meeting in a relaxing environment. Presentations and critiques of original research are complemented by special symposia, panel discussions, and a keynote address by a leader in the field. Interest group meetings allow members to share interests and concerns in specific areas. Ample opportunities are provided to renew old friendships and form new social and professional alliances. Members participate in all activities at reduced rates; trainees receive an additional discount. To maximize accessibility to the meeting, it rotates to different sites each year.
