The BSI Annual Congress is the most important gathering of the UK immunology community and an outstanding international meeting as you will be able to conclude from our list of distinguished speakers from both the UK and overseas. Several members of the Programme Committee have been members of BSI for many decades and have attended the Annual Congress every year, first as PhD students then as postdocs and now as Professors. We have great memories of some of the exciting new concepts that we were first made aware of in these meetings; from the discovery of the T cell receptor, the appreciation of the importance of dendritic cells, Inflammasome signalling to name but a few highlights. It never ceases to amaze us that there always seems to be new developments in immunology just on the horizon, even to this day and this is the science that the BSI programme committee has tried to showcase for you at this meeting.

The representation of the interests of the junior members of the BSI is and has always been one of the main driving forces of the BSI as an organisation and this is exemplified by the celebration of their achievements in the “Bright Sparks” session with prizes for the best talks. These PhD and postdocs, who are all BSI members, are the future of Immunology and will be the torch bearers for the BSI in the future. Some of the most abiding memories for many senior BSI members are the first time an eminent immunologist visited their poster and showed appreciation of their work. There will be plenty of opportunity for this at the Congress in 2013. Reciprocally, many senior scientists have taken pride in noting the excellence and scientific potential of junior members at these meetings and take pleasure in regaling colleagues about how they were the first to spot their potential before they published their Nature, Science or Cell papers. Regardless of which point of the age spectrum you are at, it is always a pleasure to meet up and socialize with old colleagues, and the venue for the Congress in Liverpool is ideal for this.
The senior members of the BSI have many fond memories of both the science and the social life of the Annual BSI Congress over many years. Come to the Congress in 2013 and create a few of your own.
