The organisers are extremely grateful to those who organised the original FBLD2008 conference, Mary Canady (www.comprendia.com) and Vicki Nienaber (www.zenobiatherapeutics.com) for providing information and contacts to help get both the York and Philadelphia conferences underway. Additional thanks to Cathy Klein at Rigaku for giving permission to re-use some of the logos established for FBLD2008.
The current incarnation of the conference owes a great debt to the experiences gained from working with Nino Campobasso and Don Huddler on the Philadelphia FBLD2010, Tony Giannetti and Dan Erlanson on the San Francisco FBLD2012 and Michael Hennig and Wolfgang Jahnke on the Basel FBLD2014 conferences.
