Newswise — At the critical two month mark leading up to ENDO 2011: The Endocrine Society’s 93rd Annual Meeting & Expo, the organization has tallied more registrants than any other annual meeting in its history. Already, more than 6,300 people have committed to attend ENDO 2011 and scientific registrations are running 23 percent higher than recent experience at this point.
ENDO 2011 will be held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts, June 4-7, 2011. Approximately 8,000 scientists and clinicians from all over the world are expected to assemble for this premier meeting of hormone research, health science, and endocrinology. The last time the Society held its annual meeting in Boston was in 2006, which set the all-time record for attendees.
“We are delighted by the tremendous interest in this year’s scientific and clinical program, but not surprised,” said Kelly E. Mayo, PhD, president of The Endocrine Society. “ENDO 2011 is the ideal venue to learn and present the best and latest endocrine science, exchange ideas and network with more than 8,000 endocrine researchers and practitioners.”
This year’s meeting will give special attention to nuclear receptor research which has resulted in numerous therapeutic advancements including menopausal hormone therapy and treatments for infertility and Cushing’s syndrome. In addition to the more than 78 symposia and 16 plenary sessions on topics ranging from endocrine-disrupting chemicals to hormone therapy, this year’s Endocrinology and Society Lecture will be given by Donna Shalala, PhD. Shalala, a former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, currently serves as the president of The University of Miami.
