Date and Venue
The 6th Facility Manager Meeting meeting took place on Jan 7 & 8 2013, and was held at The University of Nottingham.
Background
The annual Facility Manager Meeting provides an opportunity for imaging managers and those that have an active interest in imaging to interact, discuss issues, policy and ideas. The meeting is informal and free discussion is encouraged. Participation from commercial organisations, microscope manufacturers and software developers is welcomed. The meeting provides an ideal opportunity for the exchange of feedback and to hear about new technologies and techniques.

Meeting Report
The 6th FMM was held in the School Biomedical Sciences (SBMS), University of Nottingham in January hosted by Tim Self and Emma King. Attendance has continued to grow with a record 107 delegates this year comprising 65 academic and 45 commercial giving a real indication of the popularity of the meeting within the UK imaging community. The first session gave delegates an insight into some of the imaging studies being undertaken at the University of Nottingham and the talks ranged from fluorescent probes and FCS through, novel imaging technologies and HCS to intra vital imaging. Following on from this the commercial sponsors hosted a technobites session in which each company had 3 slides and a maximum of 5 minutes to present their latest technology or to simply introduce their company to the audience. This proved to be a very enjoyable and interactive process and led into an open discussion. The day was completed with a trip into Nottingham to England’s oldest pub and then on for an Indian banquet. The second day commenced with an update on Euro-bioimaging and Bioimaging UK given by Martin Spitaler. The morning session concluded with presentations from Martin Spitaler (super resolution from scratch), Paul Thomas (detector developments), Lucy Collinson (CLEM) and Jo Marrison (label free imaging). A popular part of the FMM has always been the breakout sessions and this year we discussed super resolution, detectors, label free, multiphoton applications and CLEM in small groups and then reconvened for a general discussion about the issues that had been raised. The meeting concluded with a discussion around the future of the FMM and also its interaction with Bioimaging UK.
