The Schrödinger San Francisco User Meeting will be held at the Embassy Suites in South San Francisco on April 20th, following the Drug Discovery Chemistry conference.

As in past years, the Regional User Meetings offer a great opportunity to see current research from your colleagues and to learn about the latest developments from Schrödinger. This year's meeting will include an introduction to Suite 2012 and user presentations.
