1) Why should I attend the EAYE Annual Meeting?
This is what some of our previous years' participants said:

“Extremely high quality.”
“Simply wonderful! The best part was how friendly all the participants were. I think the standing lunches and dinner really facilitated these meetings. Finally, the discussants all appeared to have done their research, which made for good discussions.”

“I really enjoyed the spirit of the event”

“I liked that there were various parallel sessions, and it was easy to find something which one is interested in. The organization was great. Further, the keynotes have been quite interesting. What I did not like was the short presentation slots.”

Between 100-150.
