In 2012, Keystone Symposia celebrated the 40th anniversary of its very first meeting, which took place March 12-17, 1972 in Squaw Valley, California on membrane biology. At that time, the organization was simply known as the UCLA Symposium, and only one meeting per year

was envisioned. It wasn’t until 1980 that the organization expanded to holding three meetings per year, and growth has continued every year since. Keystone Symposia is now a completely independent nonprofit organization and holds 50-60 conferences annually throughout the world across a broad array of the life sciences, focusing on biomedical research areas that hold real promise for positive impact on the most pressing health issues of our time.

The organization’s growth would not be possible without the loyal and ongoing support ofthe corporations, foundations, government institutes and individuals listed later in this Annual Report. Via funding of scholar-ships and travel awards, their support also enables young investigators and those from developing countries to attend confer-ences that would be otherwise beyond reach. The entire Board of Directors joins the staff in thanking these dedicated support-ers and commending them for the commitment they have demonstrated to our mission.

What will the next 40 years bring? We have every faith that in spite of the rapidly changing nature of science communication and collaboration, the value of face-to-face conferences will never wane. At the same time, the organization is actively exploring how new virtual technologies might supplement the conferences and broaden their reach so that even more participants might benefit. The organization is very well positioned to have an ever-growing impact on life science discovery.

Sincerely,

Juleen R. ZierathChair, Board of Directors, Keystone Symposia and Professor, Karolinska Institutet

This letter gives me the opportunity to praise all the people who contribute to the quality of Keystone Symposia meetings. Credit belongs to the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), which recommends topics and scientific organizers; the Scientific Organizers, who design the

programs and select speakers, and each of the Keystone Symposia staff, who help implement the conferences and make them hospitable. In addition, each year, even before the SAB gets the process started, many scientists contribute ideas about potential meeting topics online and via responses to post-meeting surveys.

In 2012, we received a new grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that will support travel awards for scientists coming to our meetings from developing countries for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015. Overall support for the conferences from corporate, government, private foundation and individual contributors was the best ever, which comprised about 38% of our operating budget. Exit surveys indicate that attendees rated highly the opportunities for professional development at our conferences, and also gave high ratings for impact on their research, regardless of career stage, affiliation or meeting role.

Each year we try some new things: novel topics or pairings of joint meetings, global venues, city venues, programming of ancillary workshops on related themes, activities to enhance the participation and value for early-career scientists. For example, in 2012 we held our first meetings in India (New Delhi) and Sweden (Stockholm), and another meeting in Kampala, Uganda, a popular venue that we have used before. We held our first meeting on Traumatic Brain Injury, a topic that is receiving increasing awareness of its importance in medicine especially as it relates to sports and battlefield injuries. The feedback we receive from attendees on these experiments is extremely helpful for our planning of future symposia. Thank you to all who contribute to Keystone Symposia. We would not be able to accomplish our mission without your support.

In March 1972, Keytone Symposia (then known as ICN-UCLA Symposium) held its first conference – on “Membrane Proteins” in Squaw Valley, California. Among the attendees was Emeritus Board Member Ed Dennis, pictured facing the camera to left of center.

Also in attendance at the inaugural Keystone Symposia meeting in 1972 was Nobel Laureate Arthur Kornberg, at left in the brown beret.

The conference in Squaw Valley laid the groundwork for future meetings in western ski resorts where participants coudl relax in an invigorating, natural setting while discussing hard science.

These generous alumni of previous meetings and others with a passion for ensuring a future of scientific discovery that benefits humankind have made gifts in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 to support the Keystone Symposia Future of Science Fund. Through their generosity, we are able to provide scholarships and travel awards to the next generation of biomedical and life scientists, whose education and careers are enhanced by the opportunity to attend meetings and interact with the world’s leading senior scientists.

In addition to funding for general and underrepresented minority scholarships and travel awards for investigators originating from coun-tries most affected by topics of specific meetings, Future of Science Fund supporters can also contribute to help us meet general meeting program expenses, as well as program costs for specific meetings of their choice.

Keystone Symposia Future of Science Fund Donors

Unseasonably warm weather in the Rockies made this a popular sight at 2012 conferences, including the joint meetings on “Innate Immunity” and “The Microbiome” at Keystone Resort, Colorado in March 2012.

Dr. Richard A. Young of Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research delivered the joint keynote address at the meetings on “Epigenomics” and “Chromatin Dynamics” at Keystone Resort in January 2012.

In May 2012, we held our second meeting in Kampala, Uganda – on “Drug Resistance and Persistence in Tuberculosis.”

In conjunction with the first meeting on Traumatic Brain Injury, Keystone Symposia hosted a free community forum attended by approximately 150 people at the Pavilion in Silverthorne, Colorado.
