It is being held in a newly developed section of historical Alexandria, VA; only a short distance from the King Street Metro station, an Amtrak train station and the fine architecture, galleries and dining of Old Town Alexandria. Washington, DC is just across the river, a short Metro ride away!
The conference begins on Monday, May 18 with two morning and two afternoon workshops to choose from. In the evening there will be a fun filled reception at the Carlyle Club, literally steps across the street from The Westin Alexandria conference hotel. There will be many excellent plenary and technical breakout sessions beginning Tuesday morning and ending on Thursday afternoon. Not to be missed on Wednesday evening is an innovation themed gala dinner at the US Patent and Trademark Office building, only a few blocks walk from the Westin. It is a light and airy architectural space with an interpretive museum for all to enjoy. There will be a few speakers there to help stretch your thinking too, possibly to help you achieve innovation!
Come to learn and network with 300 hundred fellow professionals, industry exhibitors and poster session presenters! There will also be opportunities to attend a few invitational meetings and optional site visits on Friday, May 22. For more information and details please refer to: http://icmpa9.org/
