Introduction

Scientific meetings of the British Inflammation Research Association are held 3-4 times a year. They are organized by members of the Association, and their colleagues, and not exclusively by Committee members. It is an explicit policy of the Association to give "local" organizers every possible freedom to decide the detailed arrangements and style of their meeting, so that a variety of formats can be included in the programme. However, it has been felt by some previous organizers that some outline "policies" within which a meeting should be organized would be useful, and these are summarized in this document. It is important to recognize that these are not intended to be inflexible prescriptions and variations are welcome, where they add to the benefits registrants at the meeting would gain from their attendance.
