  • SING Canada Global Symposium 2024 (SING 2024)

    May 5-9, 2024

  • From May 5th to 9th, 2024, over 140 scholars, students, allies, and supporters (including funders) met on the unceded lands of the Musqueam Nation at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver to discuss the present and future of Indigenous genomics research globally. The event was hosted by SING Canada and supported by members of the global SING Consortium (SING US, Aotearoa, Australia and Mexico). The agenda was structured around three connected activities—the first part of the week (May 6-7) focused on SING Alumni, with alumni networking activities, presentations, and professional development activities. The second component of the symposium (May 8-9) was a plenary-style format spread over 2 days, including several keynote talks. The final component (May 10) was a workshop/forum that included SING Consortium members and potential member organizations.
