July 25-30, 1999 • Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The IS-MPMI meeting at the RAI in Amsterdam was a roaring success! In attendance were 1041 scientists representing 43 countries. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the organizers: Pierre de Wit, Tom Bisselling, Dr. Willem Stiekema, Maria Augustijn, Els de Wit, Ria Fonteijn-Boele, and Ali Ormel. The organization and facilities were superb. The quality of the abstract book and circulars was first rate. And the scientific program was truly outstanding. This will be a difficult act to follow!!
