There were also 3 invited symposia at which a total of 13 papers were presented. There were 96 contributed talks, presented across six sets of three parallel sessions. In addition to talks, we also accepted 74 posters, which were presented in two poster sessions to encourage networking and collaboration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
