Global Engage is pleased to announce the Plant Genomics & Gene Editing Congress: Asia will be held on 10 – 11 April, 2017.
The forum is moving from Malaysia to Hong Kong
And not only is the venue changing, the agenda is also being transformed.
Plant research has transformed dramatically over the last 5 years as a result of the revolutionary breakthroughs and reductions in cost of sequencing. Many plants have been successfully sequenced and a wide range of biological data sets made available. Plant scientists are therefore making use of state of the art sequencing platforms to help explain biological principals, advance research and confer benefits such as crop improvement / breeding etc. by harnessing the greater understanding of plant genomes.
Global Engage are pleased to announce, as part of their Next Generation Sequencing series of events, the 4th Plant Genomics and Gene Editing Asia Congress, which will be held on 10-11 April 2017 in Hong Kong. The successful event, which was attended by over 200 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 attract another 500 delegates each year.
Attracting experts working in all areas of plant science, the event will examine the latest NGS platforms and omic technologies being used for progressing plant based research in aspects such as genome editing, crop trait development, epigenetics, phenotyping, plant microbiome, and disease resistance as well understanding tools to overcome bottlenecks and enable successful data analysis and management.

Notice for Speakers and Exhibitors
It is becoming increasingly common across all conferences for a company calling themselves Exhibitor Housing Group (or Services, or other similar names) to contact companies and people posted on a conference agenda to try to sell them hotel rooms – allowing you to believe they are appointed by the conference organizer. Do not have anything to do with them. They have no connection to Global Engage or this conference and all reports about them that find their way back to us from other events are negative.

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.
Research Scientist; Cereal Virology, Agriculture and Agri-Food
I think the organisation and the quality of the delegates was very good.
Business Development Manager, Bioline
The information was very informative and helpful. I will suggest this event to all of my friends.

I really enjoyed the interaction with the other delegates of the conference, and learning a lot about a new generation of technologies, especially third generation sequencing technologies.
