Congratulations to Henri Derschum, from the InstMikroBioBW, who left the 17th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) conference in Munich last month with a shiny new iPod nano.

The competition was a huge success as hundreds of hopefuls crowded the BioMed Central stand to sign up, some more than once!

The BMC stand itself attracted lots of attention, with a new eye-catching design and wide screen viewer. Visit our conferences page to find out if we’re exhibiting near you this year.
