You are invited to attend the 28th Fungal
Genetics Conference being held at the Asilomar Conference
Grounds. This meeting promotes the dissemination of the
latest research on all aspects of fungal genetics with a focus on
filamentous fungi and encourages communication and
collaboration between researchers interested in genomics,
gene regulation, cell biology and development, evolutionary
biology, fungal-host interactions and biotechnology. The
conference will open on Tuesday evening, March 17 with an
Opening Mixer from 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm and end on Sunday,
March 22.

NEW THIS YEAR - In an effort toward conservation and due to the increased
use of smart phones and tablets, registrants will be
able to select if they want to receive a Program Book
OR a Program and Abstract Book when they register.
Option 1 - Program Book
will include the Schedule of Events, Plenary, Concurrent and
Poster Session listings, Exhibit Information, Map of
Asilomar, Company sponsored ads, Speaker and Keyword Index
to the abstracts. The text of the abstracts
will NOT be included. The book will be
about 70 pages (depending on the number of abstract
submissions). The text of the abstracts will be available on
the website, mobile website and through a pdf supplement
available online.
Option 2 - Program and
Abstract Book will contain the same information in
the Program Book AND the text of the
abstracts. The book will be about 350 pages (depending on
the number of abstract submissions).

The Fungal Genetics Policy Committee (FGPC) is
elected by the participants at the Fungal Genetics
Confererence. Three members are elected at each meeting for a
six-year term. The Chair is elected by the members of the
committee.
The FGPC role is to:
-
Provide feedback to the Scientific
Organizers to ensure that
there is diversity in all aspects of the scientific program.
Diversity is defined as having plenary speakers that
represent broad areas of fungal biology, organismal
diversity, are balanced between junior and senior
speakers, represent a balanced male/female ratio, and
show geographic diversity. The committee also provides
feedback on concurrent session topics and chairs to
again ensure appropriate diversity and that all areas of
fungal biology are represented.
-
Appoint two people as Scientific Organizers
of the meeting.
-
Provide feedback to the GSA on issues
arising about the site and logistics of the meeting.
