Mark your calendars — the NMC 48th Annual Meeting will be held January 25-28, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nicknamed the “Queen City”, Charlotte is named in honor of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had become queen consort of King George III the year before the city’s founding. Thanks to its mid-Atlantic location, getting to Charlotte is easy from anywhere in the country or world, garnering another nickname, the “International Gateway to the South”.

The NMC meeting will follow a similar format as past NMC meetings. Sunday, January 25, will feature a pre-conference symposium and short courses. Monday will be filled with committee meetings and short courses. The annual poster session will be held Monday and Tuesday, while the main general session will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, January 27-28.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us in Charlotte! The meeting offers a host of educational opportunities, while the city and state offer recreation and relaxation. Learn and have fun at the same time!
