MSA's Megabooth (Booth # 1022) provides many services for meeting attendees. The Cyber Cafe offers free internet access. While you're waiting for a terminal, you can examine copies of recent microscopy books, for both adult microscopists and children. Sample DVDs of meeting tutorials are available for review. You can post a resume or job opening, or sign up for the exhibitor tutorials. Free copies of Microscopy Today are available. You can get information on MSA membership and MSA's technologist certification and undergraduate scholarship programs. Project MICRO, MSA's precollege outreach program and the Technologists' Forum both have information desks.

The M&M 2007 meeting will be preceded on Saturday and Sunday, August 5 and 6, with a Pre-meeting Congress entitled “Cryo-preparation for high-resolution cryo-SEM and cryo-TEM”. The two-day Congress will consist of “how-to” lectures, as well as demonstrations of a wide variety of cryo-EM instrumentation and techniques. The Pre-meeting Congress will share Sunday with full-day Short Courses on image analysis, immunogold labeling, biological confocal microscopy, failure investigation, surface analysis, and electron backscattered diffraction.

Microscopy and Microanalysis 2007 will be the premiere meeting of the year for scientists and technologists worldwide who use microscopy and microanalysis in their research. We believe that there will be much to interest each of you, and we hope that you will take advantage of the unique interdisciplinary nature of the Microscopy and Microanalysis meetings as a way to broaden your knowledge by learning about techniques and applications that may be somewhat outside your main research focus. We have aimed to give equal emphasis to applications in both biological and physical science, while soliciting symposia that reflect current and emerging trends in microscopy and microanalysis, and in the development of associated instrumentation. We look forward to meeting and interacting with as many of you as possible at Fort Lauderdale.

Technologists' Forum.

The Microscopy and Microanalysis meeting this year is being hosted by the Microscopy Society of America, the Microbeam Analysis Society, and the International Metallographic Society. On behalf of our respective societies we welcome you to Fort Lauderdale. Known as the Venice of America for its extensive system of waterways and canals, Ft. Lauderdale is a thriving near-tropical paradise with miles of beaches and world-class fishing and diving. We think you will find Fort Lauderdale an excellent venue for an excellent technical meeting. The Local Arrangements Committee, headed by Ron and Dale Anderson, has done an excellent job preparing for your arrival so that you can enjoy the meeting and the beautiful surroundings.
