#MicroSeq2025 is bringing back our ZEP virtual meeting space! Last year, ZEP was a super successful platform for lightning speakers to answer questions & engage in follow-up discussions. Get excited! Register here👇 trybooking.com/events/landing/1424679

MicroSeq2025 is utilising ZEP as lightning talk discussion space. Each lightning speaker gets a podium in our virtual meeting room, with dedicated time for questions and further discussion, proximity voice chat function, and a great opportunity to network. A screenshot of the MicroSeq2024 ZEP meeting room is shown, with many participant avatars exploring one of four podiums for each lightning speaker, or other "seating" areas for smaller discussions.

You can have microbiology, you can have sequencing data, but then what? #MicroSeq2025 giving some much-deserved love to bioinformaticians developing the brilliant tools that keep our field moving! ❤️💪
