Posted on: 7/10/2012 12:00:00 AM... The deadline for submitting abstracts to any of the 65 symposia slated for the TMS 2013 Annual Meeting and Exhibition, March 3 through 7 in San Antonio, Texas, is July 31.

Abstracts are being accepted for consideration via ProgramMaster at this link.

Last year’s event featured a record-breaking 3102 presentations and the largest attendance of the millennium. Since San Antonio is the location of the highest attendance for any TMS Annual Meeting, TMS 2013 is on track to offer an exceptional learning and networking opportunity.
