Welcome to GeneMappers 2026
Welcome to GeneMappers 2026
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 18th GeneMappers Conference, taking place from Monday, 9 March to Wednesday, 11 March 2026 at Q Station, Manly, Sydney.
We are delighted to bring GeneMappers back to New South Wales, and to return to Q Station - a much-enjoyed venue located within the stunning Sydney Harbour National Park, and the site of Australia's first quarantine station.
GeneMappers continues to showcase research across human, animal, and plant genetics, with a strong focus on statistical genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics. The meeting provides a valuable forum for sharing ideas, exploring new methods, and fostering collaboration across career stages and disciplines.
We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where all participants feel respected, supported, and empowered to contribute fully to the meeting.
We look forward to welcoming you to Manly in March 2026 for what promises to be another engaging and collegial GeneMappers conference.
