The 7th Xanthomonas Genomics Conference is quickly approaching! The theme of the conference is: sequence, mechanism, application. The conference will focus on genomics, diagnostics, epidemiology, virulence mechanism, plant defense, and disease control of members of the genus Xanthomonas and Xylella.

The 7XGC organizing committee would like to extend an invitation to all conference attendees to purchase guest passes for family who may be traveling with you to attend the conference dinner on Wednesday June 15th at the Sheraton resort outside (weather permitting) by the beach.

Adult tickets: $79.95 usd

Children 5-12 years old: $39.98 usd

Reservations must be received by June 6th, 2022.

Please email your full name and the number and ticket type (adult/child) of extra tickets you will purchase to Erica W Carter at ewcarter@ufl.edu

See you in Clearwater!
