The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting—ENDO 08—will be held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California, June 15-18, 2008.
Approximately 7,000 scientists and clinicians from all over the world are expected to assemble for this premier meeting of hormone research, health science, and endocrinology.
It is the opportunity for journalists to learn about the latest research in fields as diverse as obesity, endocrine disrupters, diabetes, growth hormones, sex steroids, thyroid cancer, and much more.
For public information officers, ENDO provides a worldwide stage to promote your institution's research to reporters through press releases and participation by your scientists in press conferences.
A full program, including press conferences and media activities, will be posted as information becomes available.
