Keystone Symposia is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors (BOD) composed of distinguished leaders from across academia, industry, and other scientific and non-scientific sectors. The board meets throughout the year to provide guidance and direction to Keystone Symposia staff, and to participate with the larger Scientific Advisory Board in the determination of future conference topics and organizers. Members serve 3-year terms, and up to 3 consecutive terms. New board members are identified and recruited by the Nominating Committee of the Board and elected by the full Board.

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is comprised of eminent biomedical scientists whose expertise derives from academia, industry, non-profit, publishing, and government sectors. The SAB is tasked with guiding the development of the conference portfolio, prioritizing content and topics, and providing a substantive peer review process to ensure Keystone Symposia's reputation as the preeminent convener of scientific conferences in the biomedical and life sciences.

Program Consultants are assembled to provide additional review and expertise for our conference portfolio. Leading scientists across disciplines work to identify possible meeting topics and organizers for future Keystone Symposia meetings. These scientific experts guide program development toward new, forward-looking meeting topics that hold great promise to benefit society, while also maintaining strong scientific foundations.
