Dear Forest Tree Genomics Community:
As the coordinators of the Forest Tree Workshop and deputies of IUFRO Working Party 2.04.10 -Tree Genomics, we carry on the tradition of organizing the Forest Tree Workshop at the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG 31; https://www.intlpag.org/31/), which is going to be held on Sunday, January 14, 2024 from 8 am -12:40 pm in Palm 1&2 at the Town and Country Resort, San Diego, CA.
As in previous years, we solicit draft abstracts for consideration for oral presentation at the Workshop. We review abstracts and take into account the quality of the science, novelty of the results, the organismal, geographic, and research group diversity, and the career status of presenters (with preference to early-career speakers). This allows interested parties to submit abstracts for consideration for an oral presentation without having to register for the conference in advance.
If you want your abstract to be considered for an oral presentation at the Forest Tree Workshop, you MUST submit an abstract (250 word maximum) to this site NO LATER than Friday, October 27, 2023. That gives organizers time to review submissions, select speakers, and inform authors so that they can submit their titles. Abstracts selected for oral presentation will be given additional information for how to submit abstracts prior to the deadline (which is Friday, December 8th).
Abstracts not selected for an oral presentation can still be presented as a poster by submitting the abstract directly to PAG. The deadline for poster abstract submissions is Friday, November 3, 2023.
Be aware that PAG early bird registration deadline is October 31 and rates go up on November 1. Rates for workshop speakers are the same as attendees; however, workshop speakers are protected from paying the increased rate starting November 1 by requesting a discount code from PAG (details provided later).
Thanks for your interest and participation in the workshop. We look forward to receiving your abstracts!
