Extensions of the SMS Annual Conference in Minneapolis

Extensions are separate, topical workshops individually organized in cities that are conveniently reached from the main conference location. They are aimed at furthering the scientific debate on a specific topic in smaller workshop-type settings with the intent of bringing together attendees of the main SMS conference with local scholars. Typically, these one-day workshops are organized as a sequence of panel sessions organized around the theme of the extension. Each workshop will include coffee breaks and a group luncheon. Information and assistance might be provided for accommodation and travel, but participants will be responsible for these elements on their own.
