This year's event will occur after the meeting on June 26, from 9 am to 5 pm at the Omni Hotel. Watch this space for calls for participation!

This year's theme is "Enabling the next generation of computational biologists." We will have two sessions, morning and afternoon. The morning session will have a round of 12-minute talks from computational evolutionary biologists in various careers (R1 faculty, primarily undergraduate institution faculty, government). They will speak briefly about their research and how it is enabled by computation, and how they balance computational work with the outputs they need to produce in their role. This will be followed by a panel discussion of pre-selected and audience questions about careers in computational evolutionary biology. We will aim to answer the following questions:

- What should evolutionary biologists be taught about computation?
- What are the dominant technologies for serving course content to biologists, and how are they suceeding? How are they failing?

The tentative afternoon schedule, with birds of a feather captains is [here](https://github.com/iEvoBio2019/2019-iEvoBio/blob/master/TentativePMSchedule.md). If you would like to give a lightning talk on the computational biology course you teach, use the [issue tracker](https://github.com/iEvoBio2019/2019-iEvoBio/issues/new) to fill out the talk template.


Registration will be $85 for for faculty and professional attendees registering in conjunction with the Evolution meetings. Registration will be $30 for graduate students and postdocs in conjunction with the Evolution meetings.

Registration will be handled via the main conference [registration site](https://www.evolutionmeetings.org/registration.html).
