Herpes Vaccine Satellite Workshop
 Saturday,July 30, 2005.
 12noon – 1:30 PM
 Turku Fair and Congress Center.

We are organizing a Herpes Vaccine Satellite Workshop at the International Herpesvirus Workshop for the first time this year to provide more opportunity for presentations and discussions about herpesvirus vaccines than is possible during the main meeting. We welcome abstracts on vaccine design, testing in animals, human immunology, and vaccine trials, and we welcome participants and attendees from academic, corporate, and governmental organizations. If you submit an abstract to IHW 2005 that involves these areas and would like to present in the satellite workshop, please also send your abstract via e-mail to one of the organizers listed below. We also welcome abstracts that are not submitted to the main IHW meeting. In addition, as you learn whether your abstracts have been accepted for oral presentation at the main meeting, please let us know as soon as possible. We will accommodate as many speakers as possible, but will schedule those who won't have the opportunity to present at the main meeting on a priority basis. We hope to have the agenda complete and distributed by email no later than mid-June. If you are selected to present your submitted abstract but have a more intriguing nascent piece of work (a hot topic) that you prefer to present at the satellite, please be certain that you get the alternative abstract submitted to us as early as possible, preferably within a week after the tentative agenda is announced.

Sincerely,
