The Conference was successfully held at the Gateway Hotel Conference Center, Ames, Iowa

In keeping with previous Visions conferences hosted by the Animal Breeding, Genetics and Genomics Group at Iowa State University, this conference will explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities that the future provides in animal genetics and genomics.

In particular the conference will explore new technologies and the data they offer, their impacts for animal improvement and animal source foods in the developed and developing world and the role scientists play in public acceptance. Talks will be followed by meaningful discussion and audience participation. We encourage students, academics, and industry personnel to attend.
