*Why attend the UIC Research Symposium?*

Nearly all past attendees have said that the Symposium is the best conference they attend throughout the year. With attendance of about 50 participants, the meeting creates a friendly atmosphere with plenty of interaction among all in attendance. Here is what some have said:

/"…what struck me then and still does is the immense generosity in time and assistance that such an audience are prepared to offer…",

"The Symposium is very international and maybe more international than many of the AMA conference’s sections…",

"I found the symposium extremely beneficial for my research. It provided an excellent platform on which to receive feedback."/
