RSNA 2010 Advance Registration and Housing

We are in the midst of a very exciting time for radiology—and for

medicine in general. Your presence at the RSNA annual meeting

means you will have your fi nger on the pulse of the very latest

trends and breakthroughs aff ecting our specialty.

This year, a joint session with the European

Society of Radiology will demonstrate excellence in

oncologic imaging, while sessions like Latin

America Presents and China Presents showcase top

research and valuable contributions to medicine

from those regions. Hot Topic sessions explore

hot-button and late-breaking topics that will defi ne

new frontiers for our practice. The new Controver-

sies sessions will present controversial topics in a

point-counterpoint format.

Scientifi c and educational session materials will

be available electronically, and the online Meeting

Program will be more user friendly and sophisti-

cated than in previous years, with searchable topics

and subspecialties.

As with all RSNA annual meetings, you will have

access to hundreds of the most relevant scientifi c

presentations, refresher courses, education exhibits,

interactive sessions, self-assessment modules, and

case-based courses. The RSNA annual meeting is

the premier event for connecting with colleagues

and having meaningful conversations with

radiology’s leaders.

We are in a position to set an outstanding example

for medicine as our specialty moves forward.

There is no better place to prepare yourself for

the healthcare revolution than RSNA 2010.

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago,

November 28 – December 3.

International Travel PackagesRSNA Welcomes International Attendees

We look forward to seeing you at RSNA 2010. As

you plan your trip to the annual meeting, please

visit RSNA2010.RSNA.org for the latest information

on international travel. International services and

special signage featuring pictorial images will be

placed in key areas at McCormick Place to assist

you onsite. Although the annual meeting is

offi cially in English, RSNA off ers translation services

in Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian,

Japanese and Spanish.

International Invitation Letter

RSNA off ers an offi cial letter of invitation for RSNA

2010 attendees. The letter of invitation, though not

required for the visa application, can assist as a

supporting document. Present this letter of

invitation from RSNA to the Consular Offi cer

during the visa interview.

Request a customized letter during online

registration by visiting RSNA2010.RSNA.org.

All visa applicants are advised to apply for their

visas as soon as travel to the United States is

contemplated, and not later than 3-4 months in

advance. Apply Early!

Visa Waiver Program

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables

nationals of certain countries to travel to the

United States for tourism or business for stays of

90 days or less without obtaining a visa. For more

information go to travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.

html and click Visa Waiver program.

Travel Approval Required for Visa Waiver

Countries. A valid ESTA approval is required for all

Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries/travelers to

travel to the United States. The Department of

Homeland Security Electronic System for Travel

Authorization (ESTA) is a free, automated system

used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel

to the United States under the VWP. It collects the

same information as the paper I-94W form that

VWP travelers fi ll out before travel to the United

States. ESTA applications may be submitted at any

time prior to travel. An ESTA authorization

generally will be valid for up to 2 years. Authoriza-

tions will be valid for multiple entries into the

United States. DHS recommends that travelers

submit an ESTA application as soon as they begin

making travel plans. Learn more about ESTA at

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/.

Important Update: Eff ective January 20, 2010, the

Department of Homeland Security is transitioning

to enforced compliance of the ESTA requirement

for VWP travelers. Therefore, VWP travelers who

have not obtained approval through ESTA should

expect to be denied boarding on any air carrier

bound for the United States. Apply at

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/.
