The 2026 Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics Conference promotes cross-disciplinary exchange between researchers doing theoretical and experimental work in these broad fields. Building on the successes of past conferences, PEQG 2026 will span a diverse array of topics across Evolutionary Genetics, Population Genetics, Quantitative Genetics, and Science & Society. In addition to the invited speakers in the Plenary Sessions and abstract-driven Platform Sessions, the 2026 meeting will feature the James F. Crow Award Symposium, and professional development and networking events.
PEQG 2026 will be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in sunny Pacific Grove. This 107-acre protected coastal state park is located on the Monterey Peninsula. Explore miles of trails that lead you along the beautiful coastline as well as through the park. It’s the perfect environment in which to learn, share research, and meet with colleagues.
The James F. Crow Early Career Researcher Award recognizes students and recent PhDs conducting population, evolutionary, or quantitative genetics research. Finalists for the Crow Award will present their work at PEQG 2026 in a high-profile Plenary session. Applications are due January 14, 2026.
