Alright, so I thought I'd try to find out symposiums and/or talks are going on this year at midyear that:

A) Seem cutting edge/interesting
B) Have a great known/recommended speaker involved
C) Free Food 😍

Obviously, not all the categories have to apply, but the more the better

As an example:

I highlighted a bunch of stuff in the AJHP issue that has the talks in it. So many of them overlap 🙁 I'm such a nerd.

Never mind how many of them start at 8am which is an absolute contraindication in my world...

Many of these overlap with the residency showcase, too. 🙁 Why can't they be on Tuesday afternoon?

Nice - thanks for the updates.

Anybody know of talks that aren't in the AJHP listings?
