Held once every three years, the Howard H. Steel Conference provides a unique opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and dissemination of research throughout the international community that is focused on Pediatric Spinal Cord Injuries and Dysfunction.
On behalf of the co-chairs, you are cordially invited to submit an abstract for consideration as a paper presentation, e-poster presentation or an instructional course lecture. Please note: the Call for Abstracts will close on June 1, 2009.
On December 3-5, 2009, the three-day conference will include a variety of educational opportunities such as paper presentations, debates, lectures, symposia and instructional course lectures. Electronic posters, standard posters and technical exhibits will also be available at the conference.
