ISNR 2008 Conference Committee Update (January, 2008)
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season. This year's conference planning is moving along very nicely. Because of the dedicated work of the committee members and staff we are not only ahead of schedule for planning our 2008 conference but already setting up preliminary plans for the 2009 and 2010 conferences. I want to very publicly and loudly say thank you to the committee members and ISNR staff for their efforts.
I want to take this opportunity to briefly inform you of some of the most important updates regarding the conference. This year's ISNR conference is going to hold some very exciting changes and an atmosphere that everyone will find very rewarding and professionally stimulating. Our conference schedule is already in place and it allows the attendee to have a very rich experience with plenty of time for educational opportunities, shopping with vendors, collegial interactions, and restorative connections.
This meeting is going to be the perfect opportunity for you to connect with Applied Neuroscience as you never have before. The meeting is being held at the Crown Plaza River Walk in San Antonio, TX. We are hosting presentations from clinical practitioners, academicians, researchers, trainers, coaches, physicians, and other professions who wish to make presentations about applied neuroscience applications oriented to the field of neurofeedback.
The most important updates at a glance:
1. Call for workshops, oral paper presentations, student paper presentations, posters and short courses opened on January 7, 2008. If you haven't submitted already please go ahead and take this time to do so. The submission site is scheduled to close on April 1, 2008. Guidelines and information regarding format can be found HERE
2. We are very happy this year to add a new format to the conference workshop program. This year presenters will be allowed to submit workshops under the category of "Commercially Oriented Short Course." These workshops may have content that is relevant to a particular hardware, software, technique or other concept that is provided by a commercial entity. These workshops are still scientific and NOT infomercials. They will adhere to the same strict standards as our other workshops; however will provide the attendee with a unique opportunity to gain additional professionally relevant knowledge as it is applied to their specific needs.
3. To promote leisurely opportunities for the attendee to continue to learn about current research and clinical work the poster sessions have been expanded. There will be 3 different poster session opportunities for the presenter to disseminate their work in a relaxed yet formal manner. We are raising the standards for our poster presentation sessions and hope to make this a unique opportunity for the attendee to interact with the presenter at a collegial level. If public speaking isn't your idea of fun, the poster session gives you a great opportunity to share information from your research or clinical practice. Guidelines can be found online HERE
4. The conference schedule is already developed and online. As presentations are accepted and topics for clinical corners are confirmed these will be updated online. The preliminary schedule can be found HERE and be sure to check regularly as updates are added.
5. Opening night reception & special panel. I am very excited to have an opening night reception and special panel. The title of the panel is Neurofeedback: the Past, Present and Future and the speakers will include the distinguished Thomas Budzynski, PhD, Joel Lubar, PhD and M. Barry Sterman, PhD. It will be an honor and an inspiring panel where these gentlemen give their perspective on our growing field.
6. I've mentioned it before but will do so again. We have a great line up of Keynote and Invited speakers. With the most recent additions we have confirmed Keynote Speakers Adam Clarke, PhD, E. Roy John, PhD, Roberto Pascual-Marqui, PhD and Fernando Lopez da Silva, MD, PhD. Invited Speakers include Mario Beauregard, PhD; Dirk DeRidder, MD, PhD; Jean-Philippe Lachaux, PhD; Leslie Prichep, PhD and Guillermo van Wielink, MD.
I hope you mark your calendars early and plan to be in attendance at this year's conference. There are many more exciting enhancements to this year's conference that are designed to maximize your educational experience and comfort. Look for more exciting news as it is confirmed in the Conference Committee updates in the newslette or here.
I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year and look forward to seeing you all on August 27 at the opening reception.
Best regards,
Leslie Sherlin, PhD
Conference Committee Chair

Leslie Sherlin, PhD Committee Chair
The holiday season is upon us and our minds are thinking of sugar plums and candy canes... unless you're on the conference committee of ISNR!
We're busy preparing and promoting our '08 conference in San Antonio, TX. We are making some fantastic strides in reaching out to new attendees and are expecting a sell-out crowd this year with record setting attendance. We are developing new ideas and implementing some changes to our conference this year. You're going to immediately notice a new look and increased focus on the quality and diversity of our program with scheduled opportunities for networking, shopping with our vendors and relaxing during breaks and evenings. While implementing many new ideas we are still maintaining the friendly intimate atmosphere that makes us all love coming back to the ISNR conference year after year.
I want to remind you of those speakers who are coming to share their work in science and practice. Keynote Speakers include Adam Clarke, PhD, E. Roy John, PhD, Roberto Pascual-Marqui, PhD and Fernando Lopez da Silva, MD, PhD.
Invited Speakers include Mario Beauregard, PhD; Dirk DeRidder, MD, PhD; Jean-Philippe Lachaux, PhD; Leslie Prichep, PhD and Guillermo van Wielink, MD.
The venue of the San Antonio, TX boardwalk is sure to provide the attendees with exceptional social and relaxing opportunities during breaks and evenings. In each of the newsletters I'll provide you with a brief update of the conference committee and the conference plans so you'll be prepared to make the most of your attendance. Meanwhile, mark your calendars for August 28-31, 2008 for the ISNR 16th Annual Conference!

ISNR 2008 Conference Committee Update (September, 2007)
Leslie Sherlin, PhD Committee Chair
The smell of the San Diego beach hasn't been washed off my clothes yet but the 2008 conference committee has already been working hard to plan next year's conference. I want to take a brief moment to share the initial plans.
Before I go any further, I have to acknowledge and thank the 2007 conference committee. Under the direction of program chairs Jay Gunkelman and Hank Weeks the entire committee worked hard and pulled off a fantastic conference. This year's conference was the most attended in ISNR history and the gauntlet has been thrown down for this year's committee. A special thanks are extended to last years committee members which included (alphabetically) John Carmichael, Debbie Elliot, Peder Fagerholm, Jay Gunkelman, Joe Horvat, Ann Marie Horvat, Hank Weeks and Noland White.
It is a real pleasure to introduce this year's conference committee members as (alphabetically) Martijn Arns, John Carmichael, Debbie Elliot, Peder Fagerholm, Joe Horvat, Ann Marie Horvat, Leslie Sherlin, Hank Weeks and Noland White. I am very grateful to those who have experience and have traveled this road before me who have extended their offer of advice and support.
We already have a great early selection of keynote and invited speakers. Coming to share their work in science and practice are Adam Clarke, PhD, Dirk DeRidder, MD, PhD, E. Roy John, PhD, Fernando Lopez da Silva, MD, PhD, Roberto Pascual-Marqui, PhD and Leslie Prichep, PhD. There are some unconfirmed speakers who have initial intents but I'll save those for when they are certain.
The venue of the San Antonio, TX boardwalk is sure to provide the attendees with exceptional social and relaxing opportunities during breaks and evenings. In each of the newsletters I'll provide you with a brief update of the conference committee and the conference plans so you'll be prepared to make the most of your attendance. Meanwhile, mark your calendars for August 28-31, 2008 for the ISNR 16th Annual Conference!
