Your guide to navigating the SfN 2023 annal meeting

Welcome to Washington DC !

As the Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting approaches, we are excited to present a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your experience in Washington DC from November 11th to November 15th which will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Whether you are interested in the latest developments in the clinical and scientific discipline of movement disorders, in eye movement research, or are looking forward to networking and socializing, we have you covered.

 

Visit booth #2512 – neuroClues (P3Lab) to learn about our product in development, a portable and easy-to-use eye-tracking laboratory. Our goal is to bring the wealth of eye movement research to the consultation.
 
Do not miss the presentation of our co-founder and Chief Technical Officer, Pierre M. Daye who will present a poster on the Evidence of an exogenous input to Superior Colliculus (SC) as a source of saccadic inhibition  on November 13, 8 AM – 12 PM. More info here.

 

Our team will be available throughout the event and looking forward to having a scientific discussion with you!

 

Enjoy the guide!

Highlights

Exploring Washington DC: Beyond the congress, Washington DC culturally rich experience. Here are a few must-do activities:

 
 

Tips and Tricks

Transportation: D.C. can have heavy traffic, so consider using public transportation or walking whenever possible. If you drive, be prepared for limited and often expensive parking options. The D.C. Metro system is an efficient way to get around the city. Purchase a SmarTrip card for easy access to buses and trains. Many popular attractions are located near Metro stations.

Restaurant: If you plan to dine at a popular restaurant or visit a high-demand attraction, consider making reservations in advance. Tipping is customary in the United States. Standard practice is to leave a 15-20% tip in restaurants.

 

We hope this guide enhances your experience at the SfN Annual Meeting. Wishing you a productive and enjoyable time at the congress!
