Fiscal year 2013 was another very good year for Keystone Symposia in spite of fears about ongoing economic stagnation and reduced government funding for science. While we had a slight decrease in government grant funding, we saw an overall increase in funding from

all sources. Thank you to all the corporate, foundation, government and individual donor sources listed toward the end of this Report who enable us to fulfill our mission. Approximately 35% of our funding comes from such sources with the remainder from conference registration fees. The funding enables us to keep registration fees lower than they would otherwise be while also offering scholarships to deserving students and postdoctoral fellows, plus travel awards for investigators from low and middle income countries to attend meetings in the Global Health Series.

With the upcoming retirement next year of CEO James Aiken and the conclusion of Keystone Symposia’s 40-year anniversary in 2012, the organization is preparing for change and new growth. I along with the other Board members would like to thank Dr. Aiken for the outstanding leadership and steady guidance he has provided to Keystone Symposia for the past 10 years.

We look to the future with optimism and confidence about the important and vital role Keystone Symposia will continue to play in life science research.

Sincerely,

Juleen R. Zierath, Ph.D.Chair, Board of Directors, Keystone Symposia and Professor, Karolinska Institutet

In fiscal year 2013, due to uncertainties about the economy at large and because we program two years in advance, we were more conservative with our meeting portfolio, reducing the number of conferences to 53, versus 55 in fiscal year 2012. We ended the year with a slight

increase in the number of total attendees, and the average number of abstracts submitted per meeting was actually one off its all-time high. In spite of our caution, we nevertheless held a number of conferences on important new topics, including “Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Right Ventricular Dysfunction,” “Nutrition, Epigenetics and Human Disease,” “Positive Strand RNA Viruses” and “Human Genomics and Personalized Medicine.” We also held meetings in various new locations for us such as Kyoto, Japan; Montreal, Canada; New Orleans, USA; and Ouro Preto, Brazil – the first time for us on the South American continent. The generous corporate support we receive via our discretionary Directors’ Fund allows us to program these new “experiments” even though they are unlikely to break-even on a standalone basis. In fact, corporate support reached a new record level, and several companies moved up to our new “Champion” level at $100,000 of annual support. For this we were very grateful. We are also appreciative of all those individual donors and industry speakers who forego reimbursement to support our scholarship program, since it did become necessary to use less of our general funds for scholarships in 2013. Fortunately, despite giving fewer scholarships, 39% of our attendees were students and postdoctoral fellows, about on par with previous years.

This is my last full fiscal year as CEO of Keystone Symposia; I will be retiring in spring 2014 after an extremely enjoyable and rewarding decade at the organization’s helm. I would like to personally thank the staff, Board of Directors, Scientific Advisory Board, financial donors, and all the many scientific organizers and speakers who make it possible for the organization to fulfill its mission. They have made my job a real pleasure I will be sorry to leave behind. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the participants from academia, industry, and the government and nonprofit sectors who take the time out of their busy schedules to attend the meetings, often traveling great distances to do so. Without this participation, the meetings would not be the vibrant and dynamic events that they invariably are. Sincerely,

James W. Aiken, Ph.D.President and Chief Executive Officer, Keystone Symposia

Keystone Symposia is fortunate to receive substantial ongoing support from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, charitable foundations and individuals. We are also honored to be the recipient of numerous grants from the US National Institutes of Health and other government agencies around the world. These gifts and grants are used to provide

scholarships for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, travel awards for scientists from developing nations and subsidies for the travel and lodging costs of scientific speakers from academic and other nonprofit laboratories and institutions.

For the 2013 meeting season and fiscal year, we received a total of $4.6 million from government, corporate, foundation and individual sources, as shown in the chart below. This funding is crucial in supporting Keystone Symposia’s mission to serve as a catalyst for the advancement of biomedical and life sciences and to accelerate applications that benefit humankind.

Keystone Symposia gratefully acknowledges donors who gave in the 2013 fiscal year. Their generous support makes possible the outstanding scientific quality of our meetings and unsurpassed opportunities for interaction and collaboration among participants. To make a gift, please contact the Development office by telephone at 970.262.2690 or by e-mail at [email protected]. “Future of Science Fund” individual donations can also be made over the Internet at www.keystonesymposia.org/ScienceFund.
