The Clinical Embryologist's Summit Conference is an annual event designed to give participants a small, informal setting in which to share ideas and interact with invited speakers and other embryologists.  The focus of the Summit is on the laboratory and an essential component of this unique meeting is the fostering of interaction and meaningful discussions/debates on relevant topics.  This year's Summit will focus on the male side of ART.  Topics of discussion will include limitations of current methodologies used to analyze, process and select the best sperm for ART, and introduction of novel methods to improve upon these current approaches.
