We are very pleased to invite you to the 8th Annual Canadian Neuroscience Meeting. The meeting will be held at the Montreal Hilton Bonaventure right in the heart of downtown Montreal. We plan to build on the success of our past meetings and look forward to an attendance that exceeds 1000 participants. The meeting venue has great facilities for poster sessions and slide presentations. Montreal is an important centre for Neuroscience research in the country. A call for proposals for Symposia will be sent on October 30th 2013, and the Abstract deadline for poster presentations is January 31st. Our Scientific Program committee has already put together an impressive list of Keynote and Plenary speakers. The 2014 meeting will continue to showcase the best in Canadian Neuroscience. The CAN meeting is an ideal place to meet and interact with colleagues from across the country. It is also a great place for trainees to present their work and get valuable feedback. We will also have special mentoring and career development sessions for trainees and junior investigators. We encourage you to register early to take advantage of the reduced registration fees and ensure your place at the meeting. We look forward to welcoming you in Montreal, May 2014.
