SLEEP 2011, the 25th Anniversary Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies LLC (APSS) will be held June 11–15, 2011, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minn. Each year throughout the meeting, the APSS offers several lunch sessions, which fill up quickly. Meet the professor sessions feature an expert in the field leading an informal discussion on a topic within their area of expertise, and lunch and learn: pro/con debate sessions feature two experts debating two sides of a current topic in sleep medicine or sleep research.

Pre-registration is required for all lunch sessions (tickets are required for admittance); space is limited and many sessions are beginning to sell out. Register early for any open sessions to ensure that your space is reserved.
