Eleven Days and Counting

 It is 11 days until the 103rd AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo. Not that we, (AOCS staff), are counting.

Planning for the AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo actually begins years in advance as AOCS staff and the Program Committee select a site, and for 2012, the sunny and beautiful Long Beach California was selected.

Site selection, however, is just the beginning. Staff and volunteer committee members work hard to find the best hotels, plan social events, short courses, the exhibition as well as plan the technical program. Websites are launched, session chairs are set to work, and marketing materials are sent out. As April 29th draws close staff begin scheduling, stuffing portfolios and arranging shipments.

After much work from all (and with much left to do!) all at AOCS headquarters are getting excited about the upcoming AOCS Annual Meeting and truly hope it will surpass your expectations!
