Keystone Symposia, a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting the scientific community for the benefit of society, conducts scientific conferences on biomedical and life science topics in relaxing environments that catalyze information exchange and networking. Meetings are designed to encourage scientists to discuss the newest ideas, discoveries, and technologies with their colleagues in an atmosphere conducive to creative thinking. Symposia locations are usually winter and mountain retreats selected for relaxed environments that optimize information exchange and promote collaborative relationships.
