General Information
Arrival and Registration: Registration will be open from 17.00-22.00 on the
6th of January in Inox suite, Students’ Union building, and from 08.00-09.00 at
the entrance to the Students’ Union Auditorium on the 7th and 8th of January.
Location of talks and poster Sessions: Talks will take place in the Students’
Union Auditorium and the Alfred Denny lecture theatres 1 and 2, just across
the concourse. Posters will be displayed in the Inox suite, Students' Union
building.
Meals and Bar: All meals, including a buffet dinner on Tuesday 6th (but
excluding the conference dinner) will take place at Uni Central in the
Student’s Union building (one floor below Inox). Please wear your name
badge as confirmation that you have registered. Tea and coffee during breaks
will be served in the Inox suite. A free glass of wine (or fruit juice) will be
available in the poster area on the evening of Wednesday 7th. On Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, the Inox bar will be open until late.
Conference Dinner: On the evening of Thursday 8th at City Hall. There will be
a drinks reception from 19.00. Dinner will start at 20.00 followed by a ceilidh
from 21.30.
Bryan Clarke tribute: will be at 09.00 on Wednesday 7th in the Students
Union Auditorium
Plenary talks: This year’s plenary speakers are Patricia Wittkopp, Barbara
Mable and Simon Myers. All plenary talks start at 12.10 in the Students Union
Auditorium.
Outreach event: A series of short talks about research life and findings,
aimed at informing the general public about science. Everyone welcome from
21.00 in Inox discovery room 3 (situated close to the registration desk and
2
#PGG48
evening buffet). There will be five minutes for each
talk and five minutes for questions.
Meet the editors: A chance to get tips from journal editors on getting your
work published. Will take place at 13.40 during the lunch break on Thursday
8th in the Students’ Union Auditorium. Editors will include Nick Barton
(Genetics, Mol Ecol, PLoS Biol), Deborah Charlesworth (Genetics), Barbara
Mable (Heredity), and Michael Ritchie (J Evol Biol).
Business meeting: A short meeting, Thursday 8th, 17.30 in the Students’
Union Auditorium, to discuss future PopGroup meetings. All are welcome and
encouraged to attend!
Information for speakers: Speakers should ensure their talks are loaded
either directly onto the computer in the lecture theatre or into the correct
Dropbox folder well before each session. Please name your files with your
surname followed by the time of your talk (eg. Smith_1015.pdf). All
computers are PCs. If you want to use your own computer please speak to a
conference organiser or volunteer well ahead of your session to ensure this
will work and can be set up before the session starts.
Chairs: The last speaker of each session should act as chair for that session. If
you are not able to act as chair please arrange for someone else to do it for
you or contact the conference organisers. Chairs should signal to the
speakers when 15 minutes has passed, then again at 17 minutes, and then
stand up at 18 minutes. Questions should be finished by 19 minutes to allow
one minute for people to change rooms.
Information for poster presenters: Posters can be put up on Tuesday evening
or at the beginning of the morning session on Wednesday and should be
taken down before 14.00 on Friday.
Luggage store: There will be a storage area available at Uni Central (near the
lunch area) on Friday morning for posters and other baggage.

Prizes: There will be prizes for the best student talks
and posters. All delegates are asked to vote online at
http://populationgeneticsgroup.org/. Online voting closes at 6pm on Thurs
8th.
Internet: Internet access is via Eduroam. For participants who don’t have
Eduroam there will be a limited number of guest accounts available from the
registration/help desk.
