2020 BMES ANNUAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

The 2020 BMES Annual Meeting is now 100% virtual!

In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and our members' concerns about travel, BMES collaborated with our San Diego colleagues in the city, the convention center, and our host hotels to bring the 2020 BMES Annual Meeting to you!

Please "save-the-dates" of October 14-17 for a four-day completely virtual experience with your BME community. We are working hard on the details and look forward to sharing more with you when online registration opens on July 8.

We know you have questions, and we are working on the answers. Feel free to email us at membership@bmes.org. More meeting details are coming soon!
