Dear participants,
We hope you all enjoyed the SHOT 2022 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, our first in person meeting since 2019.
This year’s program was the result of the hard work of the 2022 Program Committee. On behalf of SHOT, I want to thank committee members Atsushi Akera (Chair), Joseph November (co-chair), and Jethron Akallah for putting together such a wonderful program under still challenging circumstances.
I also want to thank Arwen Mohun, Gabrielle Hecht, Amy Bix, Sonja Beekers, Jeroen Carbaat, F. Dean Schultheiss, Henk Treur, Joeseph Makkos, and our volunteers, for their assistance in organizing the annual meeting. I am grateful for the time and energy Eric Hardy invested in the New Orleans meeting since 2018. Finally, I also want to thank the staff of the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel. SHOT owes you all a debt of gratitude for all your hard work!
See you next year in Long Beach, 25-29 October 2023!
Jan Korsten
SHOT Secretary
