See You This Afternoon at “Computing in the Age of the $1,000 Genome”

We’re getting ready here at Xconomy SF to head over to QB3 at UCSF Mission Bay this afternoon for our big event, “Computing in the Age of the $1,000 Genome.“

This event will bring together an ensemble cast of speakers talking about one of the big challenges in computing today, and how medicine and society at large will end up using this new deluge of DNA data. There will be no PowerPoint, lots of interactive conversation, and plenty of time for networking.

Registration will start at 1 pm, and the program will go from 2 pm to 5:30 pm, followed by a cocktail/networking reception. You can still get tickets at the door if you’ve been planning to come. We will be tweeting live under the hash tag #1kGenome. This is going to be a great event. See you there.
