We are pleased to host the 33rd annual meeting on Retroviruses which will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Monday May 19 and end after lunch on Saturday May 24, 2008. (For regular meeting attendees, please note that the switch to Mon-Sat from the traditional Tue-Sun format follows from the results of an informal poll conducted during the 2007 meeting, in which more than 75% expressed their preference for the altered format. Note that international participants are eligible for a discounted extra night room & board at the end of the meeting.)

We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all aspects of retrovirology.
