What's the best way to meet new colleagues and connect at the annual meeting? Over lunch! So, sign up now for our new "AMS Lunch-Outs." We'll match you with a group of up to five colleagues at the annual meeting. Anchored by an AMS notable or leader in the field, the group will go for a relaxed lunch away from the conference hotel. AMS creates the groups and makes restaurant reservations, but everyone pays for their own lunch! This year, AMS notables Suzanne Cusick, Julie Cumming, Michael Beckerman, and Paul Sommerfeld are anchoring Lunch-Out groups on 15 and 16 November 2024, 12:30–2:00pm. Sign up now! Space is limited.
