Bubbling with excitements!


A Message from Medical Center of the Americas:
Dear BIOMED Registrants:
We look forward to seeing you at the region’s upcoming BIOMED Symposium on October 26, 2013 at the Camino Real Hotel located at 101 South El Paso Street in Downtown El Paso. And, we are excited to announce that we have surpassed our original registration expectation of 150 participants; we are now expecting approximately 350 participants! Thank you for already helping to make this event a success through great participation! We do want to note, however, that this unexpected level of participation may result in a few logistical problems at the events. Furthermore, we will be experimenting with different types of sessions and events to determine what works best. We request that you be patient with us as we work hard to make this first year event successful. We will have evaluation forms available and hope that you provide honest feedback to so that we can improve the event in future years.
Below are a few reminders and updates regarding the Symposium that should help to make things run smoothly over the next couple of days.
