Responding to your idea:
" I'd like to propose getting everybody attending the symposium together briefly to meet each other sometime during the break on Wednesday 12 - 1;35 (How about 12:30?) The sessions before then are at Exhibit Hall D--shall we meet there?"

The exhibit times are from 11 am to 5 pm. Some of us have to be at our table during that whole time, so WE do not get the break you spoke of. However, our place in the exhibit hall will not be hard to find - T-8, and we are an end booth sticking out into the center area.

There are round tables nearby and we can eat our lunch there and take turns being behind our booth. When you check in and get your conference materials, you will get an orange book of the presentation details and a map of the exhibit hall will be in the back of that.

There is still the Tuesday night after the HER2 talks, at 7:30. We will need to find some place for a bite to eat.

Hope this helps.
