Keep. Instigated by
User:DGG I have now attempted an expansion of the text. I admit it has only few good independent sources, but note that the organization is non-profit and their meeting draws up to 3000 attendees each year. —

Delete. There is now one secondary source (to be regarded as unaffiliated because it passed peer review), which devotes a single paragraph to the topic of this article. I can't find more coverage. That's not enough to meet the notability bar, see
WP:CORPDEPTH.

that single source is affiliated, not unaffiliated--it's published in the journal of the precursor of the organization,and Iwould be extremely surprised if the peer-reviewers weren't members also. DGG (

Comment struck my previous !vote because the new sources made me doubt. The
Nature Neuroscience editorial is especially hard to assess since on the one hand it calls the OHBM "an important forum" but on the other hand this is a prediction, rather than an assessment...

Question: are we looking for secondary sources which significantly describe the work of this organisation, or are we simply looking for works which cite it as a reputable and notable organisation in the field? On the latter point, I've found a number of academic books which cite it as a significant source (but don't actually talk about it specifically). Maybe that's not good enough, so I won't link to the books here.
