Venue: The Fess Parker Doubletree Resort
Santa Barbara, California (USA)

It is with great pleasure that we invite scientists from around the world to participate in Sialoglyco 2016, the biennial international conference on sialic acid-related research to be held in a dramatic mission-style resort that sits on 24 beautiful beachfront acres in Santa Barbara California. We believe that the location is the perfect setting for networking, stimulating scientific discussions, new and novel ideas for collaborations, and social interaction. We look forward to welcoming you to Santa Barbara California in November.
