The 2nd International Conference on Genomics in the Americas

The 2nd International Conference on Genomics in the Americas will bring together the unique strengths of two world-class institutions BGI and University of California, Davis to provide a powerful platform to share ground-breaking research in basic and applied genomics and to advance new approaches to sequencing and bioinformatics.

Scheduled for September 12 – 13, 2013 in Sacramento, CA, ICG Americas-II is modeled after BGI's International Conferences on Genomics held annually since 2006 in China, which is regarded as one of the top scientific gatherings that features recent developments in genome sciences. The conference is uniquely formatted to maximize opportunities to interact directly with other genomics industry luminaries, scientific thought leaders, key decision makers, top pharmaceutical executives, and influential policy makers.

Conveniently located in Sacramento, California's capital is close to major destinations for business and pleasure – such as high-tech Silicon Valley, culturally fused San Francisco, and wine connoisseur's dream, scenic Napa Valley. The ICG Americas-II venue offers an environment conducive to information exchange, generation of new ideas and acceleration of applications that benefit the life sciences.
