Where
Netherlands, Rotterdam
Following the success of the 2017 conference in Amsterdam in March, we are looking to host our 6th Plant Genomics and Gene Editing Congress Europe in Rotterdam on the 14th and 15th May 2018. We had great feedback from the 300+ attendees at this year’s meeting and are looking forward to growing and improving the event for next year including co-locating this meeting with our Partnerships in Biocontrol, Biostimulants, and Microbiome Congress Europe.
Plant research and its associated technologies have improved dramatically over the last 5 years as a result of the revolutionary breakthroughs including new gene editing technologies and reduction in the cost of sequencing. Many plants have now been successfully sequenced and a wide range of biological data sets made available. As a result, plant scientists are now more than ever making use of state of the art technology platforms to help explain biological principals, advance research and therefore enable benefits such as crop improvement / breeding etc. by harnessing the greater understanding of plant genomes and our conference is the perfect place to find out more about these methods and systems to advance your own research.
2017 Speakers included:
Attracting experts working in all areas of plant science, the event will examine the latest in gene editing methods as well as exploring developments in NGS and omic technologies being used for progressing plant based research in aspects such as crop trait development, epigenetics, phenotyping, plant microbiome, and disease resistance as well understanding tools to overcome bottlenecks and enable successful data analysis and management.
The 2018 agenda will be available in Autumn 2017. If you are interest in presenting or would like to propose a new topic then please contact:

CEO, NRGene
The plant genomics conference is pretty exciting. I regularly participate in the plant and animal genome conference in San Diego, compared to that this conference is more focused, has a collection of interesting speakers and cutting edge technologies, not only in genomics but also in imaging and genetic engineering. This is a fantastic conference.
Professor & Director of Translation Research, University of Pennsylvania
It was a great cross-section of plant science, it included just about all aspects of plant genomics. It included the whole spectrum of science, from research, through to breeding, production, and applications and just top notch talks throughout the day. We’ve found this congress to be a great place to stay connected to the thought leaders across the spectrum of applications.
Director, Market Development, Illumina
For me the most interesting part is learning about the new technologies presented here, learning about the genomic research going on because it’s an essential part of my studies.
Group Leader, The Genome Analysis Centre
It was indeed a very well-organized and effective conference for us (Diagenode s.a)
