St. Louis is the site of the 2006 AAAS Annual Meeting from 16-20 February. This exciting city offers attendees and exhibitors their choice of more than 1,000 one-of-a-kind restaurants, an authentic blues music and nightlife scene, and an amazing number of cultural, sports, and family attractions.

No other scientific meeting brings together the breadth of science, engineering, and technology from the world's premier researchers in the way seen at the AAAS Annual Meeting. Through this truly interdisciplinary event you can learn about the latest results in genome sciences or nanotechnology in the morning, tour the farthest reaches of space to understand the origins of our universe or explore the depths of the world's oceans in the afternoon, and hear from prominent leaders of national and international science in the evening.

Symposia and lectures feature talks by the best and the brightest of the world's scientific, engineering, and technology communities. Meet colleagues who share your interests. Hear the latest findings from top labs. Gain valuable insights into the impact of science on society. Acquire new skills, ideas, and innovations that you can carry home to colleagues and students alike.

We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate, "Grand Challenges, Great Opportunities."
