The 2007 Spring Symposium was held from Monday April 23, 2007 to Thursday
April 26, 2007 at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland.
The topic of this year's symposium was Black Holes. Aspects of black hole physics and
astrophysics were discussed regarding stellar mass, intermediate mass, and supermassive black
holes.
