NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING IN KYOTO

Our next meeting will be held in conjunction with the International Investigative Dermatology 2008 meeting in Kyoto, Japan.

This year’s AHRS meeting will consist only of a business meeting that will take place:
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
4:30 - 6:00 p.m.
International Conference Center, Kyoto (ICC-Kyoto)
Room 501
(Hors d‘oeuvres and beverages will be served)

We will send you that information closer to the meeting date. As there is a full day hair satellite symposium organized by Dr. Satoshi Itami on Tuesday / May 13 as well as the IID hair section on Friday/May 16, the Board voted to forego a separate AHRS scientific session this year. Below is a link for the preliminary program for the Tuesday satellite symposium on hair.

Please plan to attend the AHRS business meeting as several important issues will be discussed. Since we anticipate that fewer of us will be attending the IID meeting than last year’s SID, please RSVP if you plan to attend our meeting in Kyoto. We will use the expected attendance data to plan for an appropriate location, so please RSVP to Ken Washenik, MD, PhD (washenik@bosley.com).

Fifth International Congress of Hair Research

Vancouver Vancouver, BC Canada
Fairmont Hotel

We are very excited to inform you of the first official announcement for the Fifth International Congress of Hair Research in Vancouver, Canada June 13-16, 2007. The meeting has not taken place in North America since 1998 and will likely not happen again on this continent for another 9 years.

The 2007 conference will bring together hair scientists with clinicians from across the globe.

The latest cutting edge research will be presented at this meeting. No doubt, this will foster future ideas, directions and collaborations.

We certainly hope you will be able to attend this important meeting.
