Pre-events to the Annual Meeting taking place on the 16th of September 2024 @ ReSoWi
ÖGMBT YLSA Workshop: Event Design for young scientists - when just organising is not enough
This workshop, by Dutch Meeting Designer and author Eric de Groot, opens the world of designing meetings. If organising an event and designing it are two different things, different mindsets are needed. The organiser needs to be, well, very organised, whilst the designer can do with a bit of chaos, creativity and lateral thinking. In the world of constructing, the builder and architect are two different professions. In the world of events making that distinction can profoundly help. Design is needed if serving drinks is not enough to stimulate networking, if a frontal PowerPoint presentation is not enough to ignite an academic exploration, if a CEO speech is not enough to boost motivation. This workshop will help you to leave the default programming by analysing what is needed to design a great event program.
Booking the workshop: After registering for the annual meeting and paying any open regitsration fees the workshop can be booked in the registration system under "Workshops Registration".

Wine & Science reception on Sept. 17th, 2024
The ÖGMBT Annual Meeting is also famous for its “Wine & Science” reception (Tuesday evening, September 19), which is included in the registration fee. This welcome reception is held within the industry exhibition area. The exhibitors bring along wine for tasting with the participants and ÖGMBT takes care of cheese and desserts. There are many wine specialties to taste and we have already counted at one of the tastings about 120 different varieties - but don't worry, there are also non-alcoholic offers ;-) Just join and enjoy the networking!

Industry Exhibition
Industry Exhibition
The industry exhibition located in the foyers of ReSoWi center and university library with companies and institutions showcasing their products & services for the life sciences community.
Exhibitor Quiz
All meeting attendees can take part in the exhibitor quiz and win prizes. Each participating exhibitor prepared a question and the correct answer can be found at their respective booth confirming. Only quiz sheets with all the correct answers and stamps from every participating booth will be taking into consideration for the lottery drawing of the prizes sponsored by the exhibitors. On Thursday, Sept 19, there will be two prize drawings:
- The first drawing of the less valuable prizes will take place during the last lunch break
- The three winners of the main quiz prizes will be awarded during the closing ceremony

Glacios 2 and SmartEPU automation for accessible, high-throughput structure determination and drug discovery
by Javier Fernandez Collado, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sept 19, 12:50 - 13:20, Lecture room: tba
Cryo-EM has revolutionized biology by resolving protein structures at high resolutions. The Glacios 2 Cryo-TEM equipped with Smart EPU software enables users of all levels of expertise to obtain high resolution data. In collaboration with the Greber lab (Institute for Cancer Research), the structure of CDK-activating kinase (CAK) bound to different ligands was rapidly resolved to ∼4 Å and ∼3 Å resolutions using 1-hour and 4-hour sessions. Greater user accessibility and increased throughput enable cryo-EM to drive structure-based drug discovery. Additionally, the state-of-the-art E-CFEG pushes resolution even further, achieving the record at 200 kV with a 1.5 Å reconstruction of Apoferritin.
