MARK YOUR CALENDAR! The 21st Annual MABioN Biosafety Hybrid Symposium will be held August 4-6, 2025 at University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH. We are currently seeking abstracts for scientific program presentations. The goal is to present a wide array of information that would be of interest to our membership. You DO NOT need to be a member to present at the symposium and this would be a good opportunity to present at a regional ABSA affiliate without having to travel too far (or at all). Additionally, presenters will have the option to present in person or virtually.
Remember, biosafety presentations at ABSA affiliate meetings may be eligible for CM points
This year only, MABioN is offering 50% off on pre-symposium and symposium registration in recognition of current budget and travel limitations. 50% off is available for members and non-members alike. Use coupon code 2025MABioN at checkout for 50% off the pre-symposium and symposium registrations.
For current MABioN members who present at the symposium, your name will be entered in a drawing for free ABSA International 68th Annual Biosafety and Biosecurity Conference registration. One (1) winner will be chosen at the conclusion of the symposium whose 2025 ABSA conference registration fee* will be paid by MABioN.
*Does not include pre-conference course fee or any other expenses. Winner must confirm that he/she is planning on attending the upcoming 2025 ABSA conference and has other funding source(s) for all other expenses
