Our MEEHubs26 conference is now complete – thanks everyone for making this a fantastic event!
It was an honour and a pleasure to be co-organising the Manchester branch of this year’s Microbial Ecology and Evolution Hubs (MEEHubs) conference, which ran this week alongside sister hubs in Ukraine, USA, Canada, Mexico and Switzerland. By video-linking hubs, we reduced conference travel emissions by ca. 100s-1000s tonnes CO2!
I had an absolute blast running the event – we were lucky to get some fantastic speakers and poster presenters from across the UK Microbiology spectrum. At 72+ attendees, we were the 2nd largest of the world’s hubs – pipped by Mexico’s 77 – with a total of 711 delegates joining worldwide.
A huge thanks to everyone who took part, especially our fantastic Manchester volunteer team. We’re also extremely grateful to our event sponsors (The UK Microbiology Society, The Company of Biologists, MicrobesNG, ProteinTech and the University of Manchester) for making this event possible.
If you attended, it would be much appreciated if you could complete our short event survey here. Thanks!
Finally, please get in touch if you’re interested in leading a UK hub bid for MEEHubs28! It’s been a great experience and I’d really recommend it.
