Conference Resources
We are excited to announce the next AG2PI Conference: Mapping the Future of Agricultural Genome to Phenome Research.
- When: Thursday-Friday, June 15-16, 2023
- Where: Kansas City, Missouri
- Why: This event will include talks by community thought leaders, stakeholder roundtables, small group discussions, and networking opportunities, all designed to map the future of AG2P research and develop recommendations concerning the research investments needed to achieve that future. These recommendations have been requested by USDA-NIFA.
- Registration: The conference will be open to the public but registration will be required to attend the event.
This will not be your typical conference. We ask that you tap into your intellect and curiosity as we look ahead to where the field of agricultural G2P is heading (and where it needs to go). Your presence will ensure your thoughts on the future of agricultural science will be heard by AG2PI, USDA NIFA and industry leaders. Outcomes of these discussions may be used to inform future investments in agricultural G2P research.
