The 2010 Sanibel Symposium will once again be at The King and Prince Golf & Beach Resort on St. Simons Island, Georgia. On the ocean's edge of St. Simons Island, GA, the resort features a Spanish colonial architecture exterior with an English colonial décor interior. The King and Prince opened in 1935 and is a member of the Historic Hotels of America.

The Sanibel Symposium will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2010. The first Sanibel Symposium was held in January 1961 on Sanibel Island. In 1976 the Sanibel Symposium moved to Flagler Beach. Over the years it moved further up the Florida coast and now it is held at the King & Prince Resort in St. Simon's Island, in Georgia. The Symposium will mix reviewing past accomplishments with presentattions on state-of-the-art research and on challenges to be addressed in the future. It will be a Symposium to remember. We hope you can be there.

To celebrate the occasion a poster design competition was organized, with some very beautiful results.
