mmc2015 registration – one week left!

Registration for the Microscience Microscopy Congress 2015 will close at 12 noon on Friday 26^th June

The Microscience Microscopy Congress has both a free exhibition and free training events as well as a scientific conference and is truly an event in the microscopy calendar that you cannot afford to miss.

This huge event is taking place at Manchester Central from Monday 29^th June – Thursday 2^nd July

 The scientific conference incorporates the EMAG, SPM and Frontiers in Bioimaging Meetings with six parallel sessions on offer each day covering an enormously wide range of microscopy techniques/disciplines across both the life and physical sciences. 5 different pre-congress workshops will take place on the Monday followed by top, international Plenary Speakers, Professor Jackie Hunter CBE, Chief Executive of the BBSRC and Professor Dirk van Dyck of the University of Antwerp, all rounded up with the Opening Reception!

Identifying the broad and inclusive programme, mmc2015 has been designated as an EMS Extension by the European Microscopy Society. www.mmc2015.org.uk/conference

 If funding is an issue, the free mmc2015 exhibition equally has a huge amount to offer. www.mmc2015.org.uk/exhibition

Over 100 companies, from industry giants to smaller, more niche enterprises, will be showcasing the latest equipment and services in the market, for you to test and compare as you walk around the hall. The exhibition at the Microscience Microscopy series is renowned for the free training opportunities it offers. There will be 4 commercial workshop theatres throughout the exhibition each with their own daily timetable of presentations from industry leaders giving an insight to how to get the most out of your equipment and handy hints and tips. www.mmc2015.org.uk/exhibition/workshops/

 The Learning Zone from the Royal Microscopical Society offers another chance to benefit from free training. This unique area is equipped with high-end equipment as well as experts in fields such as LM, SEM and Specimen Preparation to offer advice, practical demonstrations and answer any questions you may have. It also boasts its own Seminar Theatre where you can attend introductory talks and presentations for different microscopy techniques. www.mmc2015.org.uk/learning-zone
