The second North American Forest Genetics Society (NAFGS) Biennial Conference will take place in Oaxaca, Mexico, from June 10th to 14th, 2024. This meeting follows the inaugural event hosted in Asilomar, California in June of 2022. NAFGS seeks to provide a platform to discuss current research, foster collaboration, and promote education in forest genetics as it applies to forest health and productivity. Society membership and registration are OPEN on the conference website. Early registration ends April 1st. We are also welcoming abstracts on a wide range of forest tree genetics topics through March 25th (DEADLINE EXTENDED). * Tree Breeding including seed orchard management, progeny testing * Plant pathology and forest health * Population and quantitative genetics * Genetic conservation * Population and community ecology * Phylogenetics/phylogenomics * Genomic and bioinformatic tools Visit the website to view the preliminary program, register, submit a poster or talk abstract, view confirmed speakers, and join several hands-on bioinformatic training opportunities (offered FREE with registration) on the first day of the meeting. https://www.nafgs24.org/ Interested individuals can join the NAFGS mailing list here: https://groups.google.com/g/nafgs-mailing-list We hope to see you in Oaxaca, Mexico, in June 2024! -NAFGS Organizing Committee Jill L.
