This exciting meeting has a total of 12 symposia beginning on Thursday, September 25th. The format of the meeting is to have two concurrent sessions each morning, and two concurrent sessions in the afternoon. Each symposium has four dynamic speakers who are all dedicated to the subject matter of exercise physiology. Sponsorship of one or more of the Symposia Sessions during the meeting will provide your company with: acknowledgement in the official meeting program, and the December issue of The Physiologist (that is sent to the entire membership of APS), your company logo on the APS Meetings web site and meeting signage. Sponsor two or more symposia sessions and get an added bonus of one 10’ X 10’ exhibit booth, one-time use of both the APS membership postal mailing list and meeting registration postal list. The topic choices of each symposium are as follows:
Regulation of Peripheral Vascular Resistance
Control of Ribosomal Biogenesis in Muscle Hypertrophy
Muscle as an Endocrine Organ: Intertissue Influences
Stem Cells and Nuclear Domains in Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle
Somatic and Sympathetic Neural Control During Exercise
Comparative Exercise Physiology: Linking Animal Locomotion to Human Performance
Reactive Oxygen Species: Consequences on Cellular Metabolism
Remodeling of the Extracellular Matrix of Tendon and Skeletal Muscle in Response to Exercising
Signaling Mechanisms Regulating Metabolic and Transcription Processes in Skeletal Muscle
Roles of Biomechanical Signaling in Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle
Role of Inflammation in Healthy, Diseased and Aged Muscle
Sarcolemmal, T-Tubule and Intracellular Determinants of Contractile Function in Skeletal Muscle
Individual Poster Sessions ($5,000):
Each day of the meeting there will be an interactive poster session, in which attendees gather to talk about their individual abstracts and discuss collaborations of the work with other meeting attendees over light snacks and beverages. The poster sessions foster communication with other scientists about research, gives a great forum for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to talk of their work in their lab, and provides an atmosphere of science related discovery. Sponsorship for one or more of the Poster Sessions during the meeting will provide your company with: acknowledgement in the official meeting program, and the December issue of The Physiologist (that is sent to the entire membership of APS), your company logo on the APS Meetings web site and meeting signage.

Members of the press will be invited to join this meeting, which is the fifth of a series of exercise physiology related meetings hosted by the American Physiological Society. Members of the press will be able to attend sessions of the meeting, meet and converse with speakers, which will lead to coverage in the lay media. Our Director of Communications will be onsite in the Meeting Press Room to facilitate interviews between members of the working press and researchers presenting at the meeting. The press room will include internet access, phone, and a fax. Sponsorship of the press room during the meeting will provide your company with: acknowledgement in the official meeting program, and the December issue of The Physiologist (that is sent to the entire membership of APS), your company logo on the APS Meetings web site and meeting signage, and a one-time use of the meeting registration post mailing list.

This competitive award is judged by the Meeting Organizing Committee who interacts with the applicant at the meeting. Winners of the travel grants are acknowledged at the closing banquet and award ceremony and are provided with printed certificates and cash prize. Sponsorship for one or more of the travel awards for the meeting will provide your company with: acknowledgement in the official meeting program, and the December issue of The Physiologist (that is sent to the entire membership of APS), your company logo on the APS Meetings web site, meeting signage, your company name and logo on the award certificate, and a one-time use of the meeting registration postal mailing list.
