Dear Forest Tree Genomics Community
As the coordinators of the Forest Tree Workshop and deputies of IUFRO Working Party
2.04.10 -Tree Genomics, we carry on the tradition of organizing the Forest Tree Workshop
at the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG 33; https://intlpag.org/PAG33/) which will be held on
Sunday, January 11, 2026 from 8 am -12:40 pm in Pacific C at the Town and Country Resort,
San Diego, CA.
As in previous years, we solicit draft abstracts for consideration for oral presentation
at the Workshop. We review abstracts and take into account the quality of the science,
novelty of the results, the organismal, geographic, and research group diversity, and the
career status of presenters (with preference to early-career speakers). This allows
interested parties to submit abstracts for consideration for an oral presentation without
having to register for the conference in advance.
If you want your abstract to be considered for an oral presentation at the Forest Tree
Workshop, you MUST submit a 250 word (maximum 1,800 char. incl. spaces) abstract to this
site: Forest Tree Workshop Abstract
Form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddFVQk-s0UOIYXbpoFyhtUHl6…
NO LATER than Sunday, October 26, 2025, 23:59 Pacific Time zone. That gives organizers
time to review submissions, select speakers, and inform authors so that they can submit
their titles. Abstracts selected for oral presentation will be given additional
information for how to submit abstracts prior to the deadline (which is Monday, December
8th).
Abstracts not selected for an oral presentation can still be presented as a poster by
submitting the abstract directly to PAG<https://pag.confex.com/pag/33/cfp.cgi>. The
deadline for poster abstract submissions is Monday, November 3, 2025.
Be aware that PAG early bird registration deadline is October 31 and rates go up on
November 1. Rates for workshop speakers are the same as attendees; however, workshop
speakers are protected from paying the increased rate starting November 1 by requesting a
discount code from PAG (details provided later).
Thanks for your interest and participation in the workshop. We look forward to receiving
your abstracts!
