We are now ready to ready to receive abstracts for the Sam Latt Conference, being held at the University of Toronto, June 20-22. The theme of this meeting is the control of cell growth and death in cancer. The intention is to bring together basic scientists, clinicians and cytometry experts, to develop advanced cytometry methods that can be applied to human cancer. Emphasis will be on informal, workshop-style interactions, although we have an excellent line up of keynote speakers. This conference will make much greater use of electronic communications than previous ISAC meetings. All abstracts will be available on the ISAC web site. In addition, there are discussion pages where participants will be able to discuss the content of abstracts, and show figures such as histograms or graphs. The idea is that we will get to know each other's work and ideas prior to the conference, so that the workshops will hit the ground running in Toronto. In order to make this work, all abstracts need to be submitted electronically. This is available via the ISAC www site: http://nucleus.immunol.washington.edu/ISAC.html or directly from the Sam Latt Conference page: http://nucleus.immunol.washington.edu/ISAC/Congress/toronto_detailed. html You can also obtain registration and housing forms, and there is an application form for travelling fellowships. This is the first of a new style of ISAC meeting. We want to produce an exciting and low cost meeting that will stimulate new growth in clinical cytometry. To a large extent, success will depend on how well we use electronic media, so please give us feedback. David Hedley Ontario Cancer Institute/Princess Margaret Hospital Toronto
