The GRC format doesn't work everywhere. At a meeting in the Riviera in 1975, it became evident that you can't have a scientific session after a French dinner - so one was held in the late afternoon.

The 2004 GRC on Spirochetes was especially memorable because of the remarkable degree of unpublished research that was presented. I felt this represented the high level of trust that had developed among attendees.
