Registration and Poster Information for Vendors
Thank you for your interest in the NERLSCD 2009 meeting. Registration is open to all, but the number of attendees will be limited, so registration priority will go to life sciences core directors and managers. Please note that vendor presentations and support are not sought in order to keep the focus of this meeting on face-to-face discussions and networking between life sciences core directors. Vendor presentations will not be accepted for the meeting's poster session. Interested vendors are encouraged to exhibit at the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) annual meeting.
