Join us for the 3rd Annual Meeting February 24th!
Each spring, the Northwest Flow Cytometry Society hosts its Annual Meeting in Seattle, a welcoming gathering for cytometrists from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The program typically includes invited talks from local scientists, keynote presentations, vendor highlights, posters, networking opportunities, and more. We aim to offer something for everyone; core staff, researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and trainees alike, spanning a wide range of cytometry topics and experience levels. As part of our commitment to education and community-building, we keep registration affordable and share recordings online to make the content accessible to all.
