Why Attend (Over 200 people attended the European meeting - see who came here)
In the last few years there have
been such significant cost reductions and advances in next generation
sequencing technologies that genomic specialists have constantly to keep
abreast of
developments and increasingly manage an explosion in available data.
This congress has been designed to meet this need by combining a panel
of exceptional speakers with exhibitors from leading
suppliers showcasing their technologies and other solutions, one-to-one
meetings and a drinks reception, in
order to provide a unique networking opportunity during the congress breaks and
evening reception.
