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:
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
