Our 2012 calendar of key events taking place in Epidemiology next year contains 138 listings. As usual, it contains a wide variety of offerings, including numerous short courses, a dozen or so summer programs, and multiple meetings for professional organizations of epidemiologists and prublic health professionals. There were at least two large Congresses of epidemiologists last year in Montreal and Edinburgh. In 2012, there will be a European Congress of Epidemiology in Porto Portugal in early September and a Population Health Congress in Adelaide Australia shortly afterwards sponsored by the Australasian Epidemiology Society. Some of the principal epidemiology meetings for 2012 are listed below:

► March 29-30, American Epidemiological Society, Berkeley, CA

► April 16-20, Epidemic Intelligence Service, Atlanta GA

► May 20-23, Society for Clinical Trials, Miami, FL

► June 4-6, Assoc for Professionals in Inf Cont and Epid, San Antonio, TX

► June 27-30, Society for Epidemiologic Research, Minneapolis, MN

► Aug 20-24, International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology, Maastricht, The Netherlands
