We are aiming with this 2-day satellite to provide 1) a forum where New Zealand researchers are exposed to leading thinkers in reproductive biology research and 2) an opportunity for our established and emerging researchers, including students and postdoctoral fellows, to present at a high quality national meeting involving leaders in their field. We have a wonderful line up of local and international speakers presenting the latest data from a variety of research areas concerned with reproduction, including basic, clinical and agricultural sectors, and highlighting both central and peripheral organ systems. In addition to the line up below, student and early career speakers will have the opportunity to be selected for short talks from submitted abstracts. There will be an opportunity for discussion and networking with a poster evening and refreshments in between sessions.
