Society Showcase and AGM 2021: Registration Open

Each year, the Society hosts a showcase event for early career members to come together, meet each other and interact with other members of the Society who are at  different stages of their careers. The event allows us to recognise the excellent work that our community, including Committee members, Champions and Prize Winners has accomplished over the past year.

Registration is now open for this year’s online event, which will include the final of the Sir Howard Dalton Young Microbiologist of the Year Competition, featuring talks from scientists shortlisted from presentations given at Annual Conference Online 2021.

This will be followed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which all Society members are welcome to join to be part of the approval process of Society matters, and to witness incoming and outgoing members of Council and Divisions.

The event will conclude with an outreach session, featuring a presentation from the winner of the Microbiology Outreach Prize 2021. This will be followed by a training session by award-winning freelance communicator and engagement professional, Dr Jamie Gallagher, that will equip attendees with the skills to conduct successful science communication online. The session will also cover how to keep interactions positive and ensure safety online.

This special online event promises to be a great celebration of the work of Society members, which everyone is invited to attend. You can find further information and register to attend via the event webpage.
