Dear Colleague:
You are invited to attend the Plant & Animal Genome XVI Conference
(PAG-XVI), January 12-16, 2008 taking place at the Town & Country
Convention Center in San Diego, California. This is a reminder for
abstracts and pre-registration.
Everyone who submits an abstract is required to pay the registration
fee prior to the meeting to be included in the Final Abstract Guide
and posted on the website. You must be registered by December 1, or
your abstract will NOT be printed or posted on the website.
A new 40,000 sq. ft. Grand Exhibit Hall will be available for posters,
exhibits, and coffee breaks; it's connected to the Atlas Foyer.
The meeting will again offer the satellite sessions and workshops
which took place at Plant & Animal Genome XV. There will be over
100 technical, industry, and computer training workshops. The meeting
draft for PAG-XVI and abstracts from PG-I through PAG-XV are available
on the PAG website at: http://intl-pag.org. We again will try to
have no evening workshops past 7:30 PM, allowing for more social
time at night.
We are requesting that all abstracts be submitted electronically.
Point your browser to the address below and click on the "Abstracts
Submission" link when ready to submit your abstract at:
http://intl-pag.org
Due to severe delays in getting VISAs to enter the US, we
recommend that you plan ahead and begin the process now.
DO NOT WAIT. See the information link at the web site
as updates are provided.
All researchers presenting posters must pre-register for the
meeting to have their abstract printed in the final meeting
program. The abstract deadline is Friday, October 5, 2007.
