Maize Genetics Meeting deadlines extended by 1-week to next Friday, February 18th!

The early registration, abstract and hotel support deadlines have been extended by 1-week to next Friday February 18th!

Get vaccinated and boosted to join us in-person!

New Pre-Meeting Workshop Announced: There will be a pre-meeting workshop on Maize Development Genetics on Thursday, March 31st from 9am-4pm before MGM2022 kicks off. For more information and to register for the pre-meeting workshop please see the workshops page: https://www.maizegdb.org/mgc/maizemeeting/2022/workshops.php.

Submit your abstract for a talk!

We have an exciting lineup of plenary speakers and we want the short talks to complement and expand from these plenary presentations and capture the diversity of our community. We can’t make this happen without a deep pool of abstracts to pick from - abstracts from YOU - so please submit your work for short talk consideration!

What are we doing to keep you safe at the in-person meeting?

  1.  Requiring vaccination and masks on-site.
  2.  Recommending boosters, surgical/KN95/N95 masks, and testing before arrival.
  3.  Physical distancing during scientific sessions and meals.
  4.  Boxed lunches and take-away meal options.
  5.  New entertainment options!
  6.  Sanitizing protocols and sanitizing stations available.

The meeting flier is attached to this email, and additional information can be found at the meeting website: https://www.maizegdb.org/mgc/maizemeeting/2022

We look forward to seeing you in March!
