2024 PharmSci 360 Call for Volunteers

AAPS seeks experienced scientists to lead the 2024 PharmSci 360 Scientific Programming Committee.

AAPS is now seeking volunteers to serve on the 2024 PharmSci 360 Scientific Programming Committee including:
- 10 track leaders
- 5 track chairs
- 1 vice chair who will chair the committee in 2025

The 2024 PharmSci 360 will take place face-to-face October 20-23, 2024, in Salt Lake City, Utah. All committee members are expected to attend the meeting in person.

The PharmSci 360 Scientific Programming Committee is responsible for planning high-quality scientific content that engages the target audience for the PharmSci 360 meeting. The committee plans all scientific content, including symposia, keynote, and prologue sessions. Additionally, the committee sets the themes that are used by the Abstract Screening Committee and the Rapid Fire Committee.

Tasks
Build a scientific program each year that:
- Is consistent with the AAPS strategic vision and aligns with other programming across the AAPS calendar
- Achieves PharmSci 360's programmatic objectives
- Ensures high standards for presentation
- Prioritizes attendee experience over other concerns

Committee work peaks in the spring-summer, when track chairs complete selection of sessions; placement of sessions in the programming grid; and recruitment of speakers. However, committee involvement may require attention through the meeting as committee members manage speaker engagement.
