Dear friends and colleagues,

This is the 2nd announcement for our 2014 AKN annual meeting.

On behalf of AKN officers and members, I am so much thankful to our sponsors who continue to support

Owing to the generous support from our sponsors, I am happy that we will be able to continue our

exciting annual meeting. As the result, I have the following exciting announcements.

Second, we are accepting the application for AKN outstanding research awards (for predoctoral,

postdoctoral, and junior faculty). The deadline is coming very soon (Oct 31), so please apply now!

Owing to very generous sponsors, we will continue to provide each pre- or postdoctoral awardee with

the award prize $400 and junior faculty awardee with $1,000. I hope many of you apply for this great

opportunity. For details of submission, please refer to our AKN website

(www.akneuro.org).

Third, we will prepare great gifts for you and raffle them, as we did last year. We will have fancy

gadgets (about five 7' android tablets) up for raffle. Outstanding research awardees will be

excluded in this raffle. The raffle ticket will be provided only to those who show up at or before

6:40pm.

So, I believe that we will have anther great meeting with lots of fun and great networking and great

science. Because we have limited seats, please go to the link above and preregister now!

I greatly look forward to meeting everyone of you in our 2014 AKN meeting!!!

Best, Kwang-Soo
