The 37th Annual ISOTT conference was held in Cleveland, Ohio, USA from July 5-9, 2009. Previously in 1995 an ISOTT satellite meeting was held in Cleveland, Ohio, with about 75 attendees, but this was the first time for the full meeting.
The meeting consisted of one featured presentation by Jay Dean, PhD, from the Department of Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, Hyperbaric Biomedical Research Laboratory at the University of South Florida. His topic was “Oxygen and the World War II Aviator”. In addition, there were 21 featured lectures, 12 organized sessions, 56 general oral presentations, and 19 poster presentations. We welcomed 134 total participants comprised of 71 full, 13 social, 34 student, 10 daily and 6 outside exhibitor registrations.
Our venue was the campus of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), including the recently built Village at 115 dormitory-style housing facility where most participants stayed. Participants were provided with many opportunities to interact, both scientifically and socially, during the conference and after hours in an informal atmosphere. Evening activities were structured to take advantage of Cleveland as well as CWRU’s proximity to the University Circle cultural institutions. The highlight of the 2009 ISOTT meeting was definitely the Closing Banquet held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum where several of our participants entertained us with their musical talents!

The 36th Annual ISOTT conference was held in Sapporo, Japan during August 3-7, 2008. It was the second occasion that the ISOTT meeting was held in Japan; the first one was held in the same place in 1987 organized by Professor Masaji Mochizuki.
The meeting consisted of one special lecture by the Honorary President Professor Mamoru Tamura, 8 invited lectures, 7 organized sessions (31 presentations altogether), a specially planned Asians session (4 presentations), 20 general oral presentations, and 64 poster presentations. In addition, we had an opportunity to hold a satellite symposium in the same venue entitled "Oxygen Transport and Medicine" (4 presentations) chaired by Professor Makoto Suematsu, Keio University School of Medicine. We welcomed 131 full registrants (with 15 accompanying persons) and 38 one-day-ticket holders.
In addition to promoting enthusiastic in-depth discussions in the conference, at after-hours, we did our best so that the participants could relax and feel ISOTT's traditional familiar atmosphere. One example was the Summer Ski Jump demonstrations performed by Mr. Kazuyoshi Funaki, the Gold Medalist in 1998's Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan.
