The 2010 international microbicides conference (M2010), held in Pittsburgh, USA, May 22-25 2010, was at the time the first scientific conference of its magnitude that I attended.
I have previously attended and presented papers at national and regional conferences as well as local and international workshops, but none of them was anywhere near gathering more than 1,000 participants of such a great professional diversity from nearly 50 countries that converged at the Westin Convention Centre for M2010.
