Attendees are in the field on Thursday, at one of nine all-day tours. (Image: The Mussel Point is launched in Bodega Bay. Photo courtesy of UC Davis.) Afterwards are the ever-popular independent hospitality receptions and exhibitor sneak peek. Following Friday's sessions and networking happy hour, we'll go out on the town for beat dinners.
Saturday has concurrent sessions, a technology lunch plenary and afternoon mini-tours. Don't miss the Saturday night party!! We'll begin at UC Davis’ Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science for wine and beer, olive oil, honey, tomato and other tastings and tales of innovative food research. Dinner will be in the nearby Good Life Garden. 
Following dinner, attendees will have a choice of a dance party (entertainment by climate rapper Baba Brinkman, pictured, followed by our band for the evening, One Sharp Mind, whose guitarist is a retired biology professor) or a taping of the public radio show "Science Friday." Pre-registration and $35 fee required. Missed signing up for the party or show taping? You can add this event to your registration on site, as long as tickets last.
