Greensboro, NC
The 47th Annual NC Society of Cytology Conference is fast approaching!! We are looking forward seeing you at the Greensboro
Marriott Downtown in Greensboro, NC. Overnight accommodations have been arranged at a reduced rate of $129/night. Rooms can
be reserved online or by referencing the North Carolina Society of Cytology by calling (800) 228-9290 or (336) 852-6450. Rates are
guaranteed for reservations made by 5 PM Tuesday, January 17, 2017. More information about the Greensboro Marriott Downtown,

The NCSC Annual Conference is a great opportunity to obtain up to 10 Continuing Education (CE) Credits at a competitive price.
These credits can be applied to the ASCP’s Certificate Maintenance Program. This year’s conference will grow on the success of 2015
and 2016. The conference will feature morphological lectures, molecular methods, a panel composed of industry experts to discuss the
paradigm shifts in cervical cancer screening, and offer interactive opportunities that will test your cytology knowledge. The Friday
evening reception provides a great networking opportunity with colleagues and vendors. The Saturday lunch will allow NCSC
members to provide feedback in future topics and meeting locations. We value your feedback in planning future meetings.
As always, the NCSC is looking for future volunteers and leaders to help in making a successful state society. Our officers will be
happy to answer any questions and provide you with additional information, if you are interested. We currently have an opening for
Treasurer we hope to fill for 2017. Nominations for new officers will take place in 2018.
Printable registration forms are included in this brochure and can also be found online at www.nccytology.org. Online registration can
be completed online at http://ncsc.simpletix.com/Event/28321/2017-NCSC-Cytology-Conference/ or by going to our website
