ACDM19 Longer, Bigger and Better
The Conference is taking place in Amsterdam next week and we are very much looking forward to welcoming everyone attending. We are grateful for the Sponsorship from Phastar, Castor, Nutricia, Bioforum and Medable Inc and to all the 15 exhbitors who are joining us.
We are so close to reaching 150 attending which was the target we set ourselves at one of the earlier Conference Committee Meetings. Delegates, Speakers, Exhibitors and Sponsors will have plenty to hear about and lots of opportunities for networking.
We are thrilled that the majority of attendees are participating for both days of the event now that the programme has been extended. And we are excited for the Evening Event as 129 people will be cruising the canals of Amsterdam in 3 boats. As Networking Sponsor, Phastar have been kind enough to invite all dinner guests to join them for a drink back at the Radisson Blu Otium Bar after the dinner. Don’t forget your voucher.

Nickie Griffiths, ACDM Conference Chair
| New Chair of ACDM Conference Committee Jo Marshall has stepped down from the ACDM Conference Committee. Jo has been on the Conference Committee since 2011 and became Chair in 2013. The members of the Committee would like to thank Jo for all the time she has given over these past years. We will miss her leadership and knowledge. Jo will, however, remain on the main ACDM board. Nickie Griffiths has agreed to step into the role as Chair of the Committee. This leave us a vacant position on the Conference Committee.
