SSGG believes that diverse perspectives and representative speakers enhance the quality of sessions and the conference overall. We encourage session organizers to consider diversity and representation in speakers, including research focus, career stage, industry/government/academia, gender, and race/ethnicity. Topics across applied, theoretical, bioethics, or data privacy areas related to genetics and genomics are welcome.
