            "Young Investigator organized satellite meetings"
          
        
        
          These 2 hour meetings consist of one keynote speaker and 3 other speakers that include the chair and will take place before
        
        
          the official opining of the International DGZ meeting on Tuesday morning March 24. Suggested topics should not overlap with

          The chair and other speakers will get free registration. Chairs should be junior group leaders and should not be habilitated or
        
        
          have a professorship.
