Past AGTA Conferences
AGTA has been organising annual conferences since 2001. These conferences are held in various locations across Australia and New Zealand, with local members often serving as co-conveners alongside the main conveners. These events provide researchers with invaluable opportunities to network with peers, share their latest findings in genomic research, and gain insights into cutting-edge developments in the field. AGTA conferences offer a comprehensive overview of the current and future directions of genomic research, linking researchers with industry professionals.
