Networking & Career Development Opportunities

Career Roundtables

Keystone Symposia hosts Career Roundtables at our conferences to support and train the next generation of scientific leaders. These workshops create a forum for experienced leaders to share their unique perspectives on career development, professional pitfalls, and the breadth of scientific opportunities available to support trainee scientists in an informal setting. Trainees and early-career investigators have the opportunity to interact with established researchers from a broad range of backgrounds and career paths for path-defining career development advice and networking opportunities.

“The most important message is that we all walk nonlinear paths and it is so easy to forget when we experience struggle or we look up at people in power position: it always looks so simpler on the other side…Thanks again for your investment on the trainees. Priceless investment on the present and future of science.”

–Valentina Greco, PhD, Carolyn Slayman Professor of Genetics, Yale School of Medicine

Meet-the-Editor Roundtables

Meet-the-Editor workshops – available at select meetings – foster connections between editors and scientists. Relationships forged during these events lead to publication for researchers while providing editors insight into new discoveries and cutting-edge research directions to showcase editorially. Attendees are encouraged to fast-track research insights to publication by attending the roundtables and contacting editors in attendance during the meeting. Check the full program for Meet-the-Editor events.

Health Equity Forums

Health Equity Forums – offered at select meetings – engage conference participants in conversations that showcase how scientists are bringing molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to bear on inclusive research design. Featured panel discussions and short talks at select Keystone Symposia meetings explore how recognizing human variation and taking patient-centered research approaches can advance precision treatment and improve health outcomes for the global population.
