Midsummer Conference Registration

We hope your ASE internships are getting off to a great start. The 2009 ASE Midsummer Conference is fast approaching! The event will be held all day on Friday, July 10, 2009 at Oregon State University.

You will need to register for the Midsummer Conference at this link by Sunday, July 5th at 5:00pm. Rank your top two choices for Interactive Workshop #1, Interactive Workshop #2, and the Seminar. We have many exciting workshops and seminars led by amazing scientists, so it may be hard to narrow them down! Note the MSC Workshop/Seminar Menu for more details.

In addition, please indicate on the form how you plan on getting to the Midsummer Conference in Corvallis (round trip or one-way bus ride, or your own transport) and if you have any serious dietary restrictions.

We look forward to meeting you all next week and expect to have a fun and fascinating day!
