2019 HPS Annual Meeting: In the Heart of "Where It's Happening"

Howard Dickson

Greetings to all Health Physics Society (HPS) members and other interested parties. Planning for the next HPS annual meeting is well underway. The Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) for the 2019 annual meeting held its organizational meeting in St. Petersburg on 21 September.

Most of you already know that the 2019 HPS Annual Meeting will be held in Orlando, Florida, 7–11 July, with the Hilton Orlando as the headquarters hotel. We will be located right in the heart of "where it's happening" on Destination Parkway just off International Drive. That means we will be close to a number of features and events rated highly by tourists. Think Sea World, Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, iDrive 360, and many more.

The LAC is planning several surprises and innovations to supplement the traditionally favorite meeting features. The goal is to make the Orlando meeting the best annual meeting we have had, and we believe that goal is achievable. After all we are only getting prepared to host the best International Radiation Protection Association Congress ever in Orlando in 2024.
