ASIA has a long history of excellent annual scientific meetings, and its partners: APS, AASCIN, AASCIPSW and TLC hold an equally enviable reputation for scientific programming under their respective banners. Michael Kennelly, M.D. (representing ASIA) and Indira Lanig, M.D. (representing the partnership associations) co-chair the combined program committee which is hard at work on the meeting agenda.
The goal of this congress is to bring “the best and the brightest” in the field of SCI medicine together under one roof to exchange ideas, network, and hear presentations from colleagues and international experts on the full spectrum of current and future issues facing spinal cord injury professionals. The benefit to all groups from a combined scientific meeting was embraced by the boards of each participating association with enthusiasm. Dallas is ideally situated for access by the majority of attendees, and the Sheraton Dallas Hotel is perfectly appointed for ease of access and comfort.
