Join us for the 2010 SRA International Annual Meeting in the Chicago region!

SRA's conference brings together over 1,200 experts and research administrators from universities, medical centers, private industries, government agencies and foundations from around the world to share information and network. If you have never attended a professional conference or if you have attended another conference for several years in a row, it's time to shake things up and try something new in response to the new challenges you are facing.

Whether you are a senior level administrator or new to the field, it is important to challenge yourself within your peer group and to be a part of the evolution of research administration. With over 100 concurrent sessions and 31 workshops in eight tracks, there is something for everyone.

Highlights of the 2010 Annual Meeting Include:
