Why should I submit?

Peer-to-peer learning is a great way to fill knowledge gaps. Lorne Genome delegates are very experienced and knowledgeable, however, there is always room to learn.

We encourage you to share your own experiences, expertise and research with peers.

Not only will this help others learn, presenting at a conference is a great way to further your own development, make connections and extend the reach of your work.

What types of presentations are available?

Lorne Genome 2025 offers both oral abstract presentations and poster presentations. The program committee will review all abstract submissions and allocate submissions to the program based on topic and quality.

Please note: we cannot guarantee all submission preferences (i.e. oral presentations) will be met. While we strive to fulfil all preferences, limited speaking opportunities are available. Some requests for talks may need to be allocated poster presentations. We thank you for your understanding.
