What is the Conference Proceedings and Why Is It Important?

The official ASMS Conference Proceedings is a valuable record of the oral and poster presentations at the meeting. A submission for each Oral and each Poster is required to create a full digital record in the now Online Proceedings. Since 1997 the Proceedings have existed digitally (CD-ROM and now online-only). In the early years a post-conference book (1,000+ pages was printed). Members of ASMS have access to the all past year Proceedings for the duration of their active member status. Non-member conference attendees have access for to the Proceedings for the conference attendeed through 12/31 of the same year (limited access).
