Upcoming Conferences

A Global Community

  • ISCB Student Council

    dedicated to facilitating development for students and young researchers

  • Affiliated Groups

    The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between ISCB and regional non-profit membership groups, centers, institutes and networks that involve researchers from various institutions and/or organizations within a defined geographic region involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. Such groups have regular meetings either in person or online, and an organizing body in the form of a board of directors or steering committee. If you are interested in affiliating your regional membership group, center, institute or network with ISCB, please review these guidelines (.pdf) and send your exploratory questions to Diane E. Kovats, ISCB Chief Executive Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  For information about the Affilliates Committee click here.

Registration Desk Hours (In-person)
*subject to change without notice

Tuesday, October 1, 2024 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Thursday, October 3, 2024 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM

Registration fees are in USD for all in-person and virtual registrations. Certificates of participation will be available on-line following the conference for registered delegates who actively participated.

For a variety of reasons, RECOMB/ISCB/DREAM strongly prefers that scientific research accepted for oral presentation be presented in-person at the conference venue. We understand that some presenters will have valid reasons to avoid in-person attendance. ISCB will grant remote presentation options for reasons associated with maternity/paternity leave, care for a family member, personal/medical disability, sickness, financial hardship, or potential visa problems. If your research is accepted for oral presentation and you are unable to present in person, RECOMB/ISCB/DREAM requires notification at the time of acceptance and no later than September 1, 2024. You will be asked during your confirmation of participation to confirm your in-person participation. If unable to participate you will need to request a waiver by writing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Talks will be broadcast live through the virtual platform for participants.

All virtual talk presenters will be required to provide a pre-recorded talk in advance of the conference. The pre-recorded talk will be used in case of any unforeseen circumstances that prevent a live presentation by the presenter.

All posters, virtual or in person, are required to submit a brief pre-recorded video and pdf of their poster to the virtual platform.  Failure to upload these files may result in revocation of in-person poster acceptance.

*Dates subject to change without notice

Why aren't extensions allowed?

Every file that's uploaded needs to be processed, that's a video from every virtual talk, a video and/or PDF from every in-person poster, and a video and a PDF from every virtual poster.  This takes a substantial amount of time on top of travelling to the venue (often internationally), setting up the venue, coordinating volunteers, opening the virtual platform, troubleshooting attendees who try to access said platform, printing delegate name tags, preparing opening slides, organizing awards, identifying dietary requirements, running pre-conference tutorials, processing recordings from completed tutorials, answering questions from delegates who are arriving at the venue, organizing all other ongoing ISCB conferences and affiliated events, and continuing day-to-day upkeep for the Society.  These deadlines don't exist in a vacuum which is why they're broadcast as early and often as they are.
