ISMB/ECCB 2009 will offer a number of "spontaneous" open meetings for participants to meet and talk about topics of mutual interest.

The "Birds-of-a-feather" (BoF) meetings are a long-standing, highly successful tradition at ISMB. ISMB/ECCB participants are encourage to submit a topic for discussion to this website and to recruit as many (or as few) interested participants as desired by the topic leader. The BoFs will be available on Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1 from 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.

The conference organizers have set aside several rooms specifically for birds-of-a-feather meetings. The BoFs will be available on Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1 from 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m
