3 CONFERENCE GENERAL INFORMATION

4 Organizers Meeting Background The 34th International Specialized Symposium on Yeast (ISSY34), belongs to series of conferencesseries organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Yeasts (ICY). This year will take place in Bariloche, Argentin under the topic: Yeast Odyssey: From Nature to Industry.

5 The aim of ISSY34 is to bring together academic and postdoctoral researchers, industry scientists and graduate students working in the field of yeast biodiversity and biotechnology to discuss the latest developments in fundamental yeast research linked to biotechnological applications.

6 First time in Argentina, First time in Patagonia. This is the first time ISSY is being held in Argentina. A broad international and regional scientific organizing committee is behind this important meeting. The ISSY series are very international meetings and we expect to attract around 250 delegates from all over the world. As an example, the most recent ISSY meeting attracted 250 (ISSY32, Italy) and 300 (ISSY33, Ireland) delegates including speakers and session chairs. BARILOCHE

7 Meeting Location ISSY34 will take place in the beautiful city of Bariloche, on the north-west Patagonia, Argentina. Bariloche is located in the base of the Andes mountains, very close to Chile and is served by an international airport located 10km from the city center and conference venue.

We expect receiving over 200 poster presentations from all over the world. Overall the meeting topics are extremely relevant to the yeast biotechnology industry, notably the beverage and biotech sectors. Confirmed speakers: Kevin Vestrepen, Andre Lachance, Jose Paulo Sampaio, Chris Hittinger, Luis Larrondo, Rosane Schwan, Nina Gunden-Cimmerman, Francisco Girio, Carole Camarasa, Lene Jespersen, Takagi Hiroshi... and many others.

13 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND SIGHTSEEING Undoubtedly the location selected for ISSY34 provides a unique opportunity for experiencing Patagonia, by far one of the most appealing tourist destinations worldwide.

15 Pre and Post ISSY34 related events In this opportunity ISSY34 will be connected with two important events to be held in the same city and venue: Jornadas Sudamericanas de Biología y Biotecnología de Levaduras / Southamerican meeting in yeast Biology and Biotechnology (30th September 2018), and the International Workshop on Brewing Yeasts (5-6th October). This last event will have the participation as speakers of Kevin Vestrepen, Mathias Huztler, Brian Gibson, Chris Powell, among others. Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities for the latter are available too upon request.
