The 8th Annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) is being held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 7-9, 2009.

Many of you will have arrived in Chicago by the time you read this.  We are excited about kicking off the Scientific Program at 8:30 AM tomorrow morning (May 7).  Tulips and many trees are blooming in honor of your arrival.

When you arrive, go to registration in the Normandie Lounge on the second floor of the Hilton on Wednesday from 5 PM – 8 PM and Thursday from 7 AM to 5 PM.  Attendees will receive a printed version of the program and their name badges at that time.

The program book, abstract book and searchable web program are available by clicking here .The program book includes information about directions and transportation to and from the hotel.  The Chicago Hilton is at 720 S. Michigan Avenue.

The Chicago Hilton had a few rooms available and more information about the hotel including directions is available by clicking here .

Conference attendees can also submit inquiries such as accommodation and transportation sharing, which will be posted on the conference Message Board.

At this point, IMFAR does not offer continuing education credits, though we hope to in the future
