CASIM VIII is an opportunity for people in the Cambridge Area who work on sequencing data to get together to share their experiences. The CASIM meetings are founded on a high level of interaction between attendees – this isn’t a meeting where you sit and listen to people give talks – you are strongly encouraged to participate in each session.

Registration is required

The registration fee of £17.50 (for academic/non-profit/starving-startup attendees) includes tea/coffee breaks, lunch and a wine reception from 17:30-18:30
