We are excited to announce the dates for the iGEM 2020 Virtual Giant Jamboree! Even though we can’t come together at one big in-person event this year, the virtual format brings some exciting opportunities to celebrate iGEM at a scale never before experienced.
Nine -- yes 9! -- full days to gather for Competition, Community, Contribution, and Celebration. The first three days (14-16 November) will focus on the Competition and judging activities for teams. Teams will interact with judges, present virtual poster sessions, and attend workshops and social events. The weekdays (17-20 November) will focus on the synthetic biology Community, including iGEM Teams, Startups,
Alumni, Ambassadors, and Sponsors. The final two days (21-22 November) will focus on Contribution and Celebration.
Everyone in our community is invited to host and attend workshops, meetups, and other fun activities. Gather together with your fellow iGEMers and the broader synthetic biology community as we explore the role of synthetic biology and iGEM in the wider world and how you can contribute to solving some of the great challenges of our times. Finally, join us to celebrate the achievements of this exceptional iGEM season at the Closing and Awards Ceremonies.
