A-BC Islet Workshop 2024:
a Trainee-Focused Islet Biology Conference
The Alberta-British Columbia Islet Workshop brings together investigators and trainees across Canada to share their latest research on pancreatic islet biology and diabetes. The meeting will be held from February 27 to 29, 2024 at the Silver Star Mountain Resort in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.
The A-BC Islet Workshop has been jointly organized by the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia since 2012. It was created in response to a need to provide a targeted scientific meeting for Canadian islet scientists and trainees to share their research. The workshop is designed to give trainees experience delivering oral presentations, while also inviting two keynote speakers from the field. Social events are planned to encourage networking within the Canadian islet scientific community.
The format of this meeting includes two designated half-days for skiing, snowboarding, and otherwise enjoying the winter activities that Silver Star Mountain Resort has to offer. The meeting will start with a reception on the evening of February 27th and end with a dinner on February 29th, with attendees departing on the morning of March 1st.
