This Sanibel meeting, the 53rd in the longest running, privately organized meeting in the field of the quantum theoretical treatment of electronic structure, spectra, and dynamics, will recognize the exceptional contributions of Roberto Car and Michele Parrinello, whose names are synonymous with several of the most frequently used molecular dynamics methods and their application to fundamental biological and materials problems. Previous Sanibel meetings have honored such luminaries in our field as Robert Mulliken, Egil Hylleraas, John C. Slater, Henry Eyring, Clemens Roothaan, William Lipscomb, and Enrico Clementi, among others. This is the first to address critical developments in dynamics instead of electronic structure. The meeting will be held Feb. 17- Feb 22, 2013, at the historic King and Prince Hotel on St. Simons' Island, GA. There will be sixteen plenary and six poster sessions. Also, there will be several social events for the attendees and accompanying persons.

In addition to the symposium for Car and Parrinello, the organizers are arranging a special session in honor of Norman March planned for Friday afternoon. Professor March was the long-time professor of theoretical chemistry at Oxford University. He is the author of several books, including The Many-Body Problem in Quantum Mechanics that taught many of us many-body theory and others like The Single-Particle Density in Physics and Chemistry that helped to educate all in Density Function Theory. Professor March is also a long time, loyal participant in the Sanibel meeting.

You may register online. The early registration plus abstract deadline is November 30, 2012. The meeting is held at the historic King and Prince beach and golf resort on St. Simons Island, which is a beautiful setting on the coast of Georgia. Please make housing arrangements as early as possible, as we expect this meeting to attract many scientists. Please also note that several jets a day fly from Atlanta to Brunswick, GA, which is within a fifteen minute cab ride of the King and Prince Hotel. Others can arrive at Jacksonville, about an hour away, and arrange the shuttle as indicated on the webpage, or rent a car for transportation to the King and Prince.

We are quite excited about the plans for the 2013 Sanibel Symposium and look forward to seeing you there!
