Advancing genomics since 2000
Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) is a preeminent meeting series for the genomics community.
Across the AGBT General Meeting, AGBT Precision Health, and AGBT Agriculture, leading researchers come together with clinicians, industry leaders, technology innovators, and others shaping the field to share discoveries, explore emerging technologies, and form collaborations that move genomics forward.
AGBT is organized by The Genome Partnership, a not-for-profit founded in 1999 to advance research, education, and innovation in genome science and technology.
The General Meeting
A cornerstone of the genomics research community, the AGBT General Meeting is a leading international genomics conference and provides an outstanding forum for exchanging information about the latest advances in DNA sequencing, spatial biology, single-cell and multiomics technologies, and their applications.
The meeting format includes daytime plenary sessions featuring invited speakers and abstract-selected talks that highlight cutting-edge research across the broad landscape of genomics. Evening concurrent sessions feature abstract-selected talks spanning biology, technology, computational biology and AI, cancer, and other emerging areas of genomics.
Dedicated networking and sponsor social events bring together leading researchers, technology innovators, industry leaders, and other influential members of the genomics community, creating opportunities for meaningful connections and conversations throughout the meeting.
AGBT Precision Health
Building on the success of the General Meeting and with an eye toward facilitating a new era of precision medicine, The Genome Partnership launched AGBT Precision Health in September 2016 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The meeting brings together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators to explore advances at the intersection of genomics, medicine, and health. From bench to bedside, AGBT Precision Health focuses on translating scientific discovery and emerging technologies into better diagnostics, therapeutics, and clinical care.
AGBT Agriculture
AGBT Agriculture explores how advances in genomics are transforming agriculture and our understanding of plant, animal, and environmental systems. Held annually, the meeting brings together researchers and industry leaders from around the world across disciplines and sectors to advance discovery and help address challenges in food, agriculture, sustainability, and the environment.
How AGBT is organized
AGBT is organized by The Genome Partnership, a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit. Our community spans the AGBT Meeting Series and includes scientists working to improve human health, advance agriculture, and deepen our understanding of biology, along with organizations developing the technologies, products, and solutions that help move the field forward.
AGBT hosts three annual scientific meetings: the AGBT General Meeting, held each February or March; AGBT Agriculture, held each April; and AGBT Precision Health, held each September.
