We are pleased to invite you to sponsor the VSS 2024 meeting! VSS will hold an in-person meeting on May 17-22, at the beautiful TradeWinds Island Resorts in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

This year marks the ninth year we have held our meeting at the Tradewinds. The City of St. Pete Beach is a barrier island community located just off the mainland of St. Petersburg, just south of Treasure Island, and 20 miles from Clearwater Beach. With miles of pristine, white sandy beaches, year-round sunshine, an abundance of recreational opportunities, restaurants, and shopping, St. Pete Beach is among the most enjoyable places to live and vacation in the world. A short 15 minute drive away, the city of St. Petersburg boasts world-class museums, including the Salvador Dali Museum.

The Vision Sciences Society is committed to progress in understanding vision and its relation to cognition, action and the brain. Our primary goal is to host a yearly meeting where both new and established investigators can present and discuss their work in a relaxed informal setting. Our interdisciplinary nature is reflected by the program committee and review board.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 international researchers will participate in this year’s VSS Annual Meeting. VSS members represent all fields related to vision science.
