Delightful San Diego is the setting for the 77th AANS Annual Meeting, themed Shaping Neurosurgery’s Future: A Global Perspective.
“This premier neurosurgical event will emphasize the global aspect of neurosurgery,” said AANS President James R. Bean. “This will be a superlative event thanks to our many colleagues who are devoting their time and talent to its creation and successful execution.”
In the global spirit, international events are the focus of Saturday’s program, with international practical clinics in the morning and an international symposium in the afternoon, complemented by the international reception on Monday evening.
Notable celebrations scheduled in concert with the 2009 AANS Annual Meeting are the 25th anniversary of the AANS/CNS Section on Tumors, and the 20th anniversary of Women in Neurosurgery.
