The Yeast Genetics Meeting is the flagship conference in the field. Attendees gather to

learn about and present the latest research and develop academic and industry relationships. The meeting consists of ~80 short talks, ~500 posters and workshops that highlight new developments and techniques. By exhibiting at this meeting you will expand your visibility and gain access to current and future customers in a collegial atmosphere.   Our exhibition hall combines both the exhibits and over 400 poster presentations in one hall.

The meeting will be returning to the University of Washington, Seattle for the first time since 2004. Meeting attendance has historically been among the largest in Seattle. We are expecting 600 - 750 researchers to attend. The exhibits will have a dedicated audience because they will be held with the poster sessions Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.  Don't miss out on this opportunity. Sign up now to acquire leads and highlight your products and services to an audience with buying power.

 

In addition to the attendees of the meeting, you will be getting exposure to over 5,000 members of the Genetics Society of America through social media and the website.
