Despite near-record rains in New York City, over a hundred delegates attended the Spring 2007 Schrödinger User Symposium, held on April 15th to 17th. Between the welcome reception at the Millennium Broadway Hotel and the closing reception with tapas and drinks at Schrödinger’s New York office, guests enjoyed nearly two dozen talks and personal access to Schrödinger developers and product managers.

Highlights of the symposium included:
- In-depth technical sessions featuring presentations on user applications in structure-based virtual screening, receptor flexibility, MD, FEP, and more
- Evening presentations by Schrödinger development team on latest and future product directions
- Hands-on training with Schrödinger scientists
- Standing room only talks
- Networking opportunities with colleagues and collaborators from around the world
Following on the heels of this spring’s successful user symposium is the Fall 2007 Symposium, scheduled to take place October 7-9 in Verona, Italy. Users interested in attending future symposia are invited to contact their client representative with venue suggestions.
