To this end, it is my pleasure as the President of the AANP, to welcome you to the AANP’s 95th Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. This year’s conference will not only connect attendees with key leaders but will serve to provide the latest insights into revolutionary research and front-line science. You can expect a riveting scientific experience over the course of the Annual Meeting, leading off with a one-day Special Course on Thursday dedicated to the “Unintended Consequences: The Iatrogenic Neuropathology of Systemic Therapies.” Friday and Saturday will be full days of scientific platform and poster sessions, allowing you to learn and discuss topics across the breadth of our discipline. This presentation of new research will be complemented by the DeArmond, Korey and Parisi lectures. Saturday evening will also include the Diagnostic Slide Session and wrapping up the Annual Meeting on Sunday will be a half-day Presidential Symposium titled “New Ways of Looking at the Brain – What Can Neuropathologists See” which will include the Moore lecture. Education is not the only aspect of the meeting, as attendees will have plenty of time to network with new colleagues and socialize with long-time friends, reaffirming relationships and expanding connections with neuropathologists around the world. Our annual meeting also provides the opportunity for trainees and others at the start of their careers to meet the leaders of the community as well as each other. Attendees will also have time to explore the exhibit space and discuss the high-quality products and services available to neuropathologists with the exhibitor representatives. I would like to thank the exhibitors for their presence and support of the AANP and urge each of you to personally thank the exhibitors for joining us at the 95th Annual Meeting, as their support is important to our association. I look forward to seeing you all and sharing knowledge and insights, as we strive to promote discovery and advancement in our field. As my term as President winds down, it is my hope that the Annual Meeting is rewarding, memorable, and leaves you with elevated energy and new ideas to drive the profession forward. I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta for the AANP’s 95th Annual Meeting. Sincerely, Matthew P. Frosch, MD, PhD President The American Association of Neuropathologists 3 | P a g e Save the Date!
