TAGC 2020 Live
TAGC 2020 Live
Meet face-to-face with the C. elegans research community at TAGC 2020! The meeting’s unique format offers multiple opportunities for you to share your work, learn about the latest research and tools, build community, and recruit newcomers to the field. Catch up with colleagues at the opening night C. elegans mixer and at designated community meeting spots throughout the meeting. We’ll make it easy to spot C. elegans people and posters via signage and badges.
Abstracts due early!
Do you normally attend the C. elegans Development, Cell Biology, and Gene Expression Meeting? TAGC incorporates this meeting for 2020. Because TAGC takes place in April 2020, you’ll need to be ready to submit your abstract earlier than you may be used to. Be sure to submit by December 13, 2019 to be considered for a talk in either the C. elegans Sessions or the Thematic Sessions.
What’s the hashtag?
The conference hashtag is #TAGC20. Use the #Worm20 community-specific hashtag alongside #TAGC20 to allow everyone to follow along!

If you submit an abstract, it will be reviewed and scheduled in one of three types of sessions:
Poster and Thematic Sessions will feature research from all communities, while C. elegans Community Sessions will be dedicated to research on Caenorhabditis elegans and related species.
When it comes to attending talks, you won’t be forced to choose between C. elegans and your favorite topic; Community Sessions and Thematic Sessions are held at different times, so there will be no need to miss out.
