One of the outcomes of the discussions we had at the GMI5 meeting in Copenhagen and at GMI6 at UCDavis was to find meetings and conferences at which we could present GMI. Peter Gerner-Smith and others have taken swift action, and drafted a 3 hour ILSI sponsored symposium on whole genome sequencing for the Annual meeting of the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) in 2014 where GMI will be presented.
It would be good to know, if there are other initiatives that we could announce on the GMI website. Below we have generated a list of meetings that might be considered for presenting the work of GMI. As you can see this list does not cover all regions, so please do not hesitate to suggest other meeting in the regions. The list will be made available via the GMI SharePoint site, and people with access will be able to communicate their initiatives via this route also.
