Global Engage is pleased to announce the 5th Global Engage 2018 Plant Genomics and Gene Editing Asia Congress, as part of their Next Generation Sequencing series of events which will be held on 26th and 27th March 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand. The successful event which was attended by over 150 people last year, is part of our highly respected Plant Genomics Series which includes a European meeting each May and US meeting each September which attracts another 500 delegates each year.
Attracting experts working in all areas of plant science, this event will discuss the latest technologies involved in genes and genomics such as NGS platforms and OMIC technologies to establish various crop traits, epigenetics, phenotyping, plant-microbial and microbiome, and as well as plant pathology and disease resistance.
Presentations concentrate on regional model crops in Asia such as rice, wheat, maize, barley, soybean, canola/rapeseed, palm oil, cocoa, rubber trees and much more.

Plant research and its associated technologies have improved drastically over the recent years as a result of revolutionary breakthroughs such as new gene editing technology and the reduction in the cost of sequencing. Many plants have now been successfully sequenced and a wide range of biological datasets made available. As a result, plant scientists are now making use of state of the art technology platforms to help explain biological principals, advance research and therefore enable benefits such as crop improvement and breeding techniques.
Should you be either an expert already using gene editing, NGS, or other genomic technologies for plant analysis with a desire to extend your knowledge, or a researcher keen to invest in sequencing / omic technology and looking to learn which platform/technology best suits your requirements – the conference will provide an interactive networking forum to answer your queries through a vibrant exhibition room full of technology providers showcasing their technologies and other solutions, expert led case study presentations, roundtable discussions and panel discussions over four separate tracks.

Poster presentation sessions will take place in breaks and alongside the other breakout sessions of the conference. Your presentation will be displayed in a dedicated area, with the other accepted posters from industry and academic presenters.
We also issue a poster eBook to all attendees with your full abstract in and can share your poster as a PDF after the meeting if you desire (optional).
Whether looking for funding, employment opportunities or simply wanting to share your work with a like-minded and focused group, these are an excellent way to join the heart of this congress.
In order to present a poster at the forum you need to be registered as a delegate. Please note that there is limited space available and poster space is assigned on a first come first served basis (subject to checks and successful registration).
We charge an admin fee of $50 to industry delegates to present, that goes towards the shared cost of providing the poster presentation area and display boards, guides etc. This fee is waived for those representing academic institutions and not for profit organisations.
Submission instructions
We will require the form (downloadable below) to be submitted by the 9th March. This is the formal deadline however space is another limiting factor so early application is recommended. Therefore please contact us with any questions you have as soon as possible.
The networking I would say is the most useful aspect and also learning of those areas that are at the cutting edge that I wouldn’t know about because I’m not a specialist in that area.
