Welcome to the 16th Annual Hilton Head Workshop

Join us for the 2012 meeting which attracts leading scientists, engineers, clinicians and industry participants to discuss the latest cutting edge research in the regenerative medicine field. The 16th Annual Hilton Head Workshop, March 14-17, 2012, is entitled "Regenerative Medicine: Harnessing Biology for Regenerative Medicine."

Held at the beautiful Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, the goals of the workshop are to bring this community together in an intimate, "Gordon-conference style," forum to share the latest insights and discoveries in this rapidly progressing field. The program is structured to allow ample opportunity for participants to interact with each other, both within the formal sessions and informally at other times.

Active researchers who are interested in keeping pace with the latest developments in regenerative medicine are encouraged to participate. This workshop sells out each year so we encourage you to register early.  Learn how to save $25 on your registration.

 

NEW! In addition to the workshop, a one-day "short course" will be held on "New Concepts in Biocompatibility for Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine" beginning at 8am on March 14th. Stay tuned for the speaker list and program.

Best organization of any meeting I attend.

I think this is the best organized poster session I have been to!

Great networking event, good place to visit, we always leave with new collaborations.

Cutting edge research presented, able to network with others in your field, share ideas, become well versed in the field, great hospitality!

Meeting space and facilities are very conducive to meeting/talking/networking between sessions.

Great meeting; good opportunity to chat with leaders in the field.

Science keeps getting better, organization is seamless. A good combination of meeting new colleagues and re-connecting with others.
