The 2026 Bioinformatics.net Annual Conference will convene researchers, clinicians, and industry partners in San Diego for three days of talks on single-cell analysis, AI-assisted genomics, and community infrastructure. The program is designed for both wet-lab scientists who need clearer computational partnerships and software engineers who want deeper biological context.
Sessions will span invited keynotes, parallel scientific tracks, and hands-on workshops covering quality control, annotation, cloud workflows, and reproducible reporting. Morning plenaries set shared themes for the day, while afternoon breakouts let attendees dig into methods that match their lab’s maturity and tooling stack. Evening networking is structured around affinity tables so newcomers can meet peers working on similar problems.
Abstract submissions are now open to members, with early registration discounts available through the end of the year. Authors may propose short talks, posters, or tool demos; reviewers will prioritize clarity, open artifacts, and practical reuse. Accepted presenters receive guidance on slide templates, dataset licensing notes, and how to link supporting materials from the conference site.
Attendees can expect curated networking, exhibitor demos, and a closing panel on open science practice. Hotel blocks near the venue will be announced with registration, and travel support applications for students and early-career members open next month. Full agenda updates will appear here as tracks are finalized.
