The 81st Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association held in Indian Wells, California from October 26-­30, 2011 was a great success. Heralded as a favorite meeting of many attendees, the ATA offers excellent educational benefits, networking opportunities and warm collegiality all encompassed by thyroidology. With 974 registrants and the largest exhibit hall ever in 2011, we look forward to a healthy future and expanding audience. More exhibitors than ever were able to directly reach decision makers and generate long-lasting relationships along with a continuing presence on the ATA Virtual Hall

ATA membership has grown nearly 25% in the last five years including a fourfold growth in Associate membership for Fellows signaling the value and benefit the ATA offers our young physicians and basic scientists.
