Meetings and Conferences
http://www.faseb.org/meetings
The Office of Scientific Meetings
and Conferences (OSMC) provides logistical and operational support for
scientific meetings to FASEB Member Societies and nonmember organizations. If
you are planning a meeting for 50 or 20,000, there are many detailed steps that
must be completed and decisions made to assure success. These require the
utilization of many systems, tools, techniques, and skills. The professional
staff of the OSMC has the expertise, resources and purchasing power. Our
objective is to ensure that each meeting is a scientifically rewarding
experience and meets financial objectives. Services provided include:
-
Financial Planning and
Accounting
-
Committee Meetings and
Reporting

Scientific Program and Abstract

Abstracts
Successful meetings management includes the responsibility of providing
accurate and comprehensive scientific program listings and abstracts. A
number of FASEB Offices cooperate to complete this task.
-
The Office of Production Services, in partnership with the Telecommunications
Department captures the abstract titles and authors for later use in development
of the meeting program and abstracts. Production Services also plays a major
role in the layout, photographing, and production of the program and abstract
books.
-
The Office of Publications edits the title/author information and publishes
major meeting programs and abstracts in The FASEB Journal.
-
OSMC cooperates with the Society program committees to arrange papers in
proper sequence by subject area, day, time, and location.
The products of this series of activities among FASEB Offices and Society
meeting committees are program and abstract volumes for many FASEB managed
meetings, most notably the annual Experimental Biology and ASBMB-anchored
meetings. This activity benefits not only the meeting attendees, but also
produces a permanent record of meeting proceedings.
