Program Agenda

IZFS is thrilled to present the June agenda. Holding a virtual meeting allows for increased flexibility in the timing of the program, so in an effort to accommodate our global membership, we have stretched the program to make it accessible over multiple time zones. While we recognize that not every session will be convenient for all of our delegates, we are confident that everyone will find enough in the program to make this an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We hope you will agree and look forward to seeing you online June 16-22!

Virtual Conference Details

The IZFC has been THE “go to” meeting for the zebrafish community for more than two decades. Join us for the 2021 virtual
IZFC experience! The virtual conference means more delegates than ever, from across the globe, can participate in the largest
zebrafish meeting in the world. Sessions will be live-streamed and recorded for later on-demand access by meeting registrants,
so your science can have maximum reach and impact, and there’s no need to pick between competing sessions. Additionally,
the Organizing Committee is working hard to emulate everyone’s favorite parts of an in-person IZFS conference, with lots of
opportunities to connect through live Q&A with presenters, an interactive welcome and networking session and, one-on-one
networking opportunities. They are also using this unique format to further foster the exposure and success of junior investigators
and trainees. We look forward to learning and connecting at the 16^th International Zebrafish Conference!

Sessions
IZFC will feature stellar keynote speakers, including two prestigious George Streisinger and Chi-Bin Chien award lectures.
A wealth of plenary and concurrent sessions will highlight the latest zebrafish research advances and inform participants about
the newest cutting-edge zebrafish research tools and technologies. The presentations will feature a host of topics including:
genetics and genomics, imaging, regeneration and so much more. Sessions will be live streamed, and will offer ample time for
robust live Q&A with the presenter, and recorded for future access.

Poster Hall
Don’t miss the interactive virtual poster hall! Explore the variety of presentations and chat with the presenters about their research.
This dynamic poster hall fosters the exposure and success of junior investigators and trainees.

Exhibit Hall
The virtual exhibit hall provides the opportunity to connect with vendors for your various research needs. Explore the virtual booths,
watch vendor introduction videos and connect via video or text chat with company representatives.

Networking Reception
Join us on June 16^th for the welcome and networking reception. This reception will use cutting-edge technology to make it feel
like you’re in person, at a conference! Move through the virtual building and instantly connect via video with peers and friends.

Please look for more information in the coming months. If you have any questions, email info@izfs.org.
