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.

Famous quotes containing the words annual, scientific and/or meetings:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“Now, I hold it is not decent for a scientific gent
To say another is an ass—at least, to all intent;
Nor should the individual who happens to be meant
Reply by heaving rocks at him to any great extent.”
—Bret Harte (1836–1902)
“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)
