2012 World Congress on In Vitro Biology

The World Congress on In Vitro Biology is an international congress held every four years. The 2012 World Congress will be held from Sunday, June 3 – Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington.  We have chosen this year’s location because of all its exciting opportunities. Bellevue is the Gateway to the entire Puget Sound and only minutes from Seattle. This walkable city offers some of the best of the Pacific Northwest! Find out more about Bellevue.

Network with Colleagues in an Intimate Setting

While Bellevue is a terrific location, the main reason for meeting each year as a society is to network with colleagues, share our scientific and personal accomplishments and to view the most exciting, cutting edge research in the broad arena of in vitro sciences covered by our members. If you have ever attended an SIVB Annual Meeting, you have already come to appreciate the high caliber science that is the benchmark of these events.  Our World Congresses, held once every 4 years, are even more impactful as we welcome greater participation from our colleagues around the globe. 

Join Leading Experts in In Vitro Biology

SIVB meetings are intimate and give you the opportunity to sit and talk with those who have shaped the science you use today.  Meet these leading experts and chat with them one-on-one.  Then attend scientific sessions where they will present their latest research in Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Animal Cell Sciences during keynote and plenary symposia, symposia and workshops. You will get an opportunity to present your research too during the contributed paper and poster sessions.  This is a unique opportunity to make new friends, create new connections and take home new knowledge to inspire your scientific pursuits.
