Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well and still feeling inspired after our recent conversations! As we start looking ahead, it's time to start planning for our 2026 MADSSCi Regional Meeting, scheduled for September 2026 - and we'd love your help to make it happen!
We're looking for volunteers or institutions in our region who would be willing and able to host the meeting. Hosting is a fantastic opportunity to:
โจ Showcase your institution and facilities
๐ค Build deeper connections across our regional community
๐ Shape the agenda, themes, and energy of the meeting
๐ Have a little fun bringing everyone together!
Don't worry - you won't be doing it alone! The MADSSCi planning committee and ABRF will be there to support you every step of the way with logistics, planning resources, and guidance based on past meetings.
If you or your institution might be interested (or even just curious!) about what hosting involves, please reach out directly to the OC at OC@madssci.abrf.org by October 31st.
Let's keep the momentum going and make the 2026 regional meeting one to remember!
Warm regards,
MADSSCi Organizing Committee
