Abstract
More than 5,000 participants (researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology) overall visited Honolulu early october 2014 for the 70th Annual Meeting of ASRM. Attended by more than 400 Latin American experts and over 180 Brazilians. Nearly 1,400 abstracts - with most contributors coming from the United States of America, China, Brazil, United Kingdom, Turkey, Spain, Japan and Italy-were submitted from overall 78 countries (Benjamim, 2014). Topic wise the most contributions were to Embryology (clinical), but also further main topics were Reproductive Endocrinology, Female infertility and Andrology, all for clinical applications more than for basic research. The 24 Postgraduate Courses were mostly visited for Reproductive Genetics, Early Pregnancy and Reproductive Endocrinology, and for Embryology.
