MOOT XXIV - first announcement

We are pleased to announce that the MOOT XXIV NMR Symposium will take place October 22nd-23rd (2011) in Toronto, Ontario, hosted at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. The MOOT NMR Symposium has traditionally been a meeting bringing together NMR spectroscopists from across Ontario, Quebec, and more recently the Maritimes and the nearby United States. This trainee-oriented meeting aims to give blossoming researchers the opportunity to present their research to the close-knit Canadian NMR community. Talks and posters will be held at the Hospital for Sick Children, located in the Discovery District of downtown Toronto, and the banquet will be held at historic Hart House on the University of Toronto campus.

In addition, Agilent Technologies will be holding a day long symposium and mixer the day before this year's MOOT (Oct. 21). More information regarding the agenda and location for this symposium will be posted soon and available on http://www.spinsights.net

We are working to update the conference website. Detailed information will be available shortly at http://www.mootnmr.org , with registration and abstract submission for posters and talks opening in early June 2011.

A block of rooms has been reserved at the Delta Chelsea, conveniently located within a 5 minute walk of the conference venue, at a rate of $129/night (double occupancy) - booking details will be posted to the conference website later in May.

Porter Airlines offers a 20% discount on all fare classes for attendees travelling to Toronto for the MOOT NMR Symposium. Porter provides free in-flight snacks and beverages, including beer and wine. Please book online at http://www.flyporter.com Porter. Flying refined.

We look forward to seeing you in October!
