2022 ICGI Research Conference Update

by Campbell, Todd - ARS

Dear Friends: On behalf of the ICGI steering committee, I am writing to update you on the status of our biennial research conference. Originally, our ICGI International Research Conference was scheduled for fall 2020 in Rehovot, Israel with Professor Yehoshua (Shuki) Saranga graciously agreeing to lead the local organizing committee. In January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic began, and we were forced to postpone the conference to a later date. Since that time, the steering committee and Prof. Saranga's team has been in continual contact to discuss how to best navigate the ongoing situation. During 2021, at the beginning of the Delta variant surge and prior to the emergence of the Omicron variant, we decided to tentatively re-schedule the conference for May/June 2022. Very recently, although the pandemic is easing in most parts of the world, we determined that all of the direct (health and safety) and indirect (travel restrictions) impacts of the current situation prohibit ICGI from holding the conference in 2022. As such, this is our plan moving forward. 1. We will tentatively plan to hold the ICGI research conference in 2024. Prof. Saranga and his team will be given the opportunity to host the conference in 2024. The steering committee, in consultation with Prof. Saranga, will make a decision about Israel hosting in 2024 by the end of 2022. 2. 3. In the absence of our biennial research conference, the steering committee is tentatively planning to expand our annual ICGI workshop at PAG in January 2023. The tentative plan is to hold an ICGI business meeting and social/networking event in addition to the traditional scientific program. Please forward this information to any of your colleagues who might be interested to know about these updates. On behalf of the steering committee, I want to thank you for your patience during these trying times. We are in unchartered water and learning how to navigate without any prior experience doing so. Please let me know if you have any questions, and be on the lookout for future updates during the remainder of 2022. Regards, Todd ___________________________________ B.

2022 ICGI workshop at PAG postponed

by Campbell, Todd - ARS

Dear ICGI members and friends: Greetings and Happy New Year! As a result of the Omicron variant, spike in COVID-19 cases worldwide, and associated travel difficulties, the 2022 ICGI workshop at PAG has been postponed until 2023. On behalf of your ICGI leadership, I would like to thank you once again for your patience during these challenging times. Although the last two years have been extremely difficult for us to get together, I am optimistic that 2022 will become more 'normal' and we will once again be able to meet again in person to share recent advances in cotton genetics, genomics, and improvement. Best wishes for success and good health in 2022! Be on the lookout for updates regarding the 2022 ICGI Research conference coming soon. Regards, Todd ___________________________________ B.
