Annual Scientific Meetings
AANS Annual Scientific Meetings are the largest gatherings of neurosurgeons in the nation, focusing on the latest research and technological advances in the field. Medical attendees choose from a wide array of top-notch education and science presented by renowned neurosurgeons from around the world. Annual Scientific Meetings present a unique opportunity for neurosurgeons to attain a significant portion of their CME credit requirements through the scientific programming as well as a plethora of breakfast seminars and practical clinics.
On May 3, 2010 in Philadelphia, the AANS realized a yearlong dream when it conducted the first medical meeting in North America delivered via the iPod touch®. Meeting content was delivered to medical attendees via a customized app. The association reprised this success at the 2011 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting in Denver, April 9-12, 2011, utilizing the iPod again, but with a decidedly enhanced app and innovative new features.

“From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I’m entertaining them and I know that they know. Obviously, the best meetings are with suits that are intelligent, because then things are operating on a whole other level.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
