Fellow/graduate student travel grant application deadline, October 13.

Researchers from developing countries travel grant application deadline, October 13.

Registration/housing opens for other researchers and clinicians, December 1 [when physicians stand by their fax machine to have the best chance of getting in].

Final registration/housing deadline, December 31 [usually not applicable, as registration stops at 3,200 this year, and almost always fills before the end of the month].

Late breaker abstract deadline, January 3, 2001.
