General Information
We know it’s a bit of a journey for some to get to Bristol, so we’ve tried to make it worth your while. Most importantly, we have a very exciting schedule!
We’ll be hosting the meeting in an independent cinema close to the train station (very comfortable for weary travelers, and hopefully a unique experience for a genetics meeting!)
There are a couple of other things happening that you could do in conjunction with your visit. In the evening after the meeting, researchers at the IEU have collaborated with artists to host an event called ‘Creative Reactions’ – it’s close by to the SEGEG meeting venue and looks very interesting.
Also, the following morning (Saturday 25th May) we’re organising a short walk somewhere around Bristol – hopefully a nice way to get to know fellow researchers a little better. Just sign up on the SEGEG eventbrite page if you’re interested in joining us.
There are still a few places left so please do sign up quickly if you have plans to attend – this will help us finalise catering etc
Looking forward to welcoming you to Bristol!
Best wishes
Gib and George
