Final Program Due to Onsite Materials
The HUPO 2026 Conference Organizing Committee invites submissions from individuals or groups to conduct interactive presentations at the Bioinformatics Hub, which will hold sessions during HUPO 2026 (November 10, 11 and 12). Sessions are either 1 or 1.5 hour in length.
We welcome proposals for Bioinformatics Hub Sessions that provide engaging and interactive forums for discussion. Sessions should include discussions and opportunities to form collaborations and be led by at least two co-organizers who will host the session on site. Panel discussions and small group problem solving are examples of good ways to engage attendees. A typical Bioinformatics Hub Session will discuss subjects, such as open challenges in the field, areas where more computational efforts are needed or emerging and growing initiatives that require community input. Proposals should not be featuring standard scientific talks including only a few questions. Interactive participation is key! Any topics related to bioinformatics of proteomics are welcome.
Submissions are due by May 15, 2026, and submission acceptance notifications will be sent no later than June 12, 2025.
Proposal content and format
Bioinformatics Hub proposals should include a short summary (200 words or less) of the session and the interactive activities planned.
Submissions should also include the following information:
- Title of the Bioinformatics Hub Session
- Name and email of the contact people who will lead the Session and be responsible for Session correspondence
- Name of other Bioinformatics Hub Session participants with institutional affiliations and email addresses
- Length of the proposed session (1 or 1.5 hour)
Workshops will be reviewed by an international expert reviewer panel and selected based on:
- Quality of proposed interactive and engaging activities
- Interest in the Bioinformatics topic
- Diversity of co-organizers and speakers in alignment with HUPO’s Mission (e.g., people from different regions and gender representation)
- Alignment with HUPO Initiatives (https://hupo.org/Initiatives)
- Important things to note before submitting a proposal:
- If your Bioinformatics Hub Session is accepted, the HUPO 2026 Congress will provide a room at the Congress venue with basic AV equipment (projector, screen, microphones).
- The Congress will not be able to provide any additional financial support for additional AV expenses, speaker support or any other expenses.
- The Session will be listed in the program on the website, mobile app and in all official Congress materials, however, you are encouraged to personally invite people to attend the Session. Anyone attending the Session will have to be registered for the HUPO 2026 Congress.
- It will be the organizer’s responsibility to make all arrangements for the Session, including speaker/participants arrangements.
- The final agenda for inclusion in the onsite materials must be submitted to the Congress Secretariat no later than August 29, 2025.
