The population is rapidly getting older as the baby boomers turn 65. Exploding with it is the field of aging research. For many years there has been a small group of scientists, gerontologists, studying the reasons we age; how, and can we slow down the process. In recent years many more scientists have joined the field. This has led to a questioning of old and established theories as well as the putting forth of new theories. Some scientists look at aging as a disease that we can cure. Others think of it as an inevitable process that perhaps we can slow down. And yet others think aging is the process of living but hopefully we can cure the diseases associated with aging. This conference will discuss these many theories and the inevitable debates that go with it. Through a format of presentations, panels, and networking, scientists established in the field and ones just entering will be able to explore the latest issues in this important and young field.

The Chadwick Center for Children & Families at Children's Hospital-San Diego is preparing to present the 22nd Annual San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment. The Conference will be held January 28th through February 1, 2008, once again at the popular Town and Country Resort & Convention Center. If you have attended this Conference in the past, you are aware that the week's activities consistently attract professionals from across the country and around the world. It is anticipated that at least 1,600 people will be in attendance. The 2007 Conference attendance was 1,826. Professionals from fields such as medicine, psychology, social work, nursing, law enforcement, law, the judicial and administration, are among those who make the San Diego International Conference "#1" on their meeting calendars. We will host the exhibit hall in the BRAND NEW EXHIBIT HALL at the Town & Country Resort and Convention Center. There are numerous entrances to this room, which will generate a great deal of foot traffic. ALL GENERAL SESSIONS will be held in the exhibit hall along with continental breakfast Tuesday through Friday along with afternoon snacks on Tuesday through Thursday.

SPIE Medical Imaging is the internationally recognized forum for reporting state-of-the-art research and development in medical imaging. The symposium covers a wide range of topics on medical image acquisition, display, processing, understanding, perception, storage, and transmission. SPIE Medical Imaging also provides many informal opportunities to network and share ideas among colleagues. Many of the enabling technologies that ultimately drive R&D in the field of medical imaging derive from the research presented at SPIE Medical Imaging. Hear important medical imaging research with your colleagues and industry leaders in the field of Medical Imaging Collaborate with your colleagues. Bringing important research to market, now more so than ever, depends on the collaborative effort of colleagues in different locations, often working in different disciplines. SPIE Medical Imaging draws the most talented researchers and managers working in the field. Join your colleagues at SPIE Medical Imaging 2008 and work together to bring your research forward. Publish your research. Within weeks of presentation, your work will be published in the SPIE Digital Library and become part of the worldwide body of scientific literature.
