Symposia Overview
Non-CE/CME Satellite Programs provide an opportunity for external groups—industry, trade organizations, government, other scientific societies, etc.—to share and discuss research findings with the nutrition science community in conjunction with American Society for Nutrition (ASN) scientific meetings. Satellite Programs provide attendees with additional educational/informational opportunities.
