AIRR VII Meeting Registration is Live!

by

The AIRR-C Meetings Sub-Committee is pleased to announce that registration is live for the AIRR-C VII Meeting!

AIRR-C Meetings VII – Learnings and Perspectives will be held in-person at the prestigious Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, in Porto, Portugal. While we are excited to gather in large numbers this June, we understand that not everyone can travel and attend in-person. As such, the Meeting will also be offered as a hybrid event so both in-person and virtual participants can engage and enjoy multiple live-streaming sessions and recorded content, an in-conference app, opportunities to engage with colleagues and industry sponsors, and to network, through the Whova meeting platform.

REGISTER NOW

Optional Group Dinner Ticket

We have secured a fabulous venue for the final night dinner on Thursday, June 6th! Porto is famous for, you guessed it, Port! As part of the group dinner, we have arranged for a brief cellar tour that will include some fascinating history of the region. 

Be sure to register for the group dinner and cellar tour event on the Whova meeting platform. It will take place at the Cálem Port Wine Cellars. Your ticket includes the cellar tour, a welcome cocktail reception, a selection of drinks, and a three course meal (you choose options from a set menu).

Early Bird Discounts & Ticket Types

The early bird discount is available through April 14th on all ticket types including in-person tickets, non-academic/industry tickets, virtual attendee tickets and one-day-only tickets.

AIRR-C VII has a jam packed agenda!

Student/Postdoc Mentoring Session and Match-ups

Are you willing to be a mentor and share your insights and exciting research with the future generation of AIRR-researchers? Are you interested in being mentored? Be sure to sign up when you complete the registration form.

We will host specific sessions for students and postdocs – be sure to check the agenda for the “early career track” and we hope you enjoy the speed networking and career development panel.

Deep Dive Software/Tools Tutorials

There will be 10 different software/tool tutorials at the Meeting and each person can attend two! Be sure to sign up through the Whova meeting platform for the “in-person-only” Deep Dive Software/Tools Tutorials on Tuesday, June 4th, early as space is limited.

Poster Sessions & Short Talks

Our fun and informative poster sessions are back and we have had an overwhelming response with over 80 posters submitted and 10 short talks accepted! Given the frequent demands of people to add additional posters, we have reopened the abstract submission form until April 26th. For those seeking this great opportunity, fill out this form.
