Meet the Vendor Luncheon - Friday, May 15, 2009
Meet the Professor Luncheon - Saturday, May 16, 2009
The symposium will host two luncheons to provide attendees the chance to engage in informal discussions with faculty during the Meet the Professor Luncheon and industry during the Meet the Vendor luncheon. Each roundtable discussion will be moderated by a faculty member or vendor. Register now as seating is limited. (Vendor and professor table selections will be chosen on site.)

Virtual Meeting*
Extend your learning experience with access to the symposium sessions after the meeting. You will receive streaming content that has been digitally recorded live and published as audio synchronized to PowerPoint presentations. Purchase the Virtual Meeting when you register.

*When you purchase the Virtual Meeting, approximately eight weeks after the meeting you will receive an e-mail message providing you with a link that will allow you to access the Virtual Meeting.

Power Point Presentations
PowerPoint presentations for each session will be available approximately two weeks before the meeting as released for inclusion by the presenter. Presentations may be downloaded by clicking the faculty member’s name. Please note that some faculty members have not submitted and/or released their slides to ASTRO therefore their names are not linked. Presentations will remain posted on the ASTRO Web site approximately six months after the meeting.
