THE 5th US UK MEDICAL SOCIOLOGY CONFERENCE: LAST CHANCE FOR EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT
Reykjavik, Iceland, June 18-20th, 2015
The early bird discount for registering at the discounted price is extended until April 20th. As there are only few spots left, we encourage anyone planning on going to register as soon as possible. Even more importantly, we will not be able to guarantee accommodation at the conference prices after April 20th. We hope you can join us for what promises to be an exciting conference, with participants confirmed from 9 countries. For further information, please contact Sigrun Olafsdottir ([log in to unmask])
The conference is organized around plenary speeches (delivered by Nancy Krieger, Bruce Link and Ruth McDonald) and discussion in informal workshops focusing on common interests (e.g. health disparities, health policy, mental illness, global health, genetics, or social networks). Conference participants will also be invited to learn more about the Icelandic health and health care landscape, through a talk and discussion with Icelandīs Surgeon General, a visit to DeCode, and a reception hosted by the Icelandic Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The Early Bird Registration is US$350 and includes participation in the conference and activities directly related to it, lunches and snacks during the conference, and a conference dinner. There are direct flights to Iceland from multiple cities in the US, Canada, and Europe and we have arranged for special rates at various hotels in downtown Reykjavik (ranging from $97 to $350 for a single room per night). We have also arranged special excursions (reasonably priced), including a trip to the Blue Lagoon and the Golden Circle. We hope you consider joining us for what promises to be an exciting conference, with confirmed participants from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Iceland and Italy.
