American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2022 Annual Meeting

The American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting is held each fall in a major U.S. or Canadian city and attracts over 6,500 scientific attendees, plus almost 250 exhibiting companies, which makes it the world's largest gathering of human genetics professionals. The meeting's primary goal is to convey the most important and cutting-edge science in the most engaging way by staying on top of industry and programmatic trends, while serving its diverse audience.

Attendees travel from around the world to access the hundreds of presentations and exhibits on the latest laboratory equipment, products, publications, and software. They are biomedical research scientists and clinicians, and are extremely devoted to their work. Approximately 35% of attendees come from outside North America and are about 50% male and 50% female.

Highlights at the meeting include invited symposia; plenary, platform, and poster sessions; education/trainee workshops; career opportunities and networking events; and public policy sessions. ASHG members and leading scientists from around the world are selected to present their research findings. Abstracts of work submitted and accepted for presentation are published and citable online.
