Invitation to Attend
It is my pleasure to invite you to the 2024 AMGDB Annual Meeting, a conference dedicated to academic leaders in biochemistry. We welcome conference participation by the leadership of biochemistry units within undergraduate institutions, schools of medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and public health. The meeting will take place on January 11-15, 2024, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, at the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa.
The AMGDB annual meeting is a premier conference for Biochemistry Chairs focused on advancing cutting-edge science, education, and professional development. The 2024 meeting will include diverse speakers and discussion leaders prioritizing time for discussions. The AMGDB new chair on-boarding session will focus on topics such as finances and budgeting, promotion and tenure, faculty development, and HR-related items (recruitment, retention, and annual reviews). The 2024 agenda is under development. The program will include:
- Priorities Updates from NIGMS, ASBMB, AAMC, and EBA leaders
- New Chairs On-Boarding
- Funding the Missions: Principal vs Principle
- Hiring and Retaining the Best Talent
- Tactics for an Effective Leadership Journey
- Opportunities for Diversifying Research and Health Professional Workforce
- Scientific Presentations
If you have attended an AMGDB meeting previously, you already know the value of talking with your peers and sharing strategies for leadership. The conversations with colleagues at the beach are as important as the programming in the conference room, and you will have plenty of time in both settings. If you have never attended, you are overdue for this important networking and career development opportunity, and we are ready to welcome you.
The 2024 AMGDB Meeting includes an amazing group sunset cruise with a Mayan-themed dinner at the Las Caletas, a beach only accessible by boat. We have included a group excursion to the Zona Romantica and a variety of optional tours including an EcoDiscovery tour in catamaran to the Marietas Islands on Thursday January 11 for the early arrivals.
Be sure to make your room reservations as soon as possible. The AMGDB room low rate is guaranteed and all rooms are Ocean View.
I hope you will be able to join us in January 2024 for a stimulating meeting in this relaxed setting. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can answer any questions about AMGDB or our annual meeting.
I look forward to seeing you in Puerto Vallarta!
