    Now that ASBMB 2024 is behind us, what are some other regularly held lipid-focused meetings folks routinely attend and enjoy?

    Looking forward to the lipid droplet meeting organized by Drs. Henne and Olzmann this summer!

    Hi Kevin.

    Personally, I enjoy (and regularly attend) the -

    1. Sphingolipid Club (SLC) conferences: https://www.sphingolipidclub.com/
    2. Southeastern Regional Lipid Conference (SERLC): https://serlc.info/

    Thanks Anna!  I've always wanted to attend the SERLC but it's a LONG trip for me from South Dakota...

    Hi Kevin,

    I can recommend some national:

    Kern Lipid Conference 2024 (kernconference.org)

    • Deuel conference on lipids (asbmb.org)

    and some international:

    ICBL 2024: 15-18 October 2024 - National Biotechnology Park, Taipei, Taiwan

    ISSFAL CONGRESS

    conferences that I've attended in the past.

    I suppose I am biased but I really the enjoyed the 2023 CoA and CoA derivatives conference. I was also lucky to meet Chuck Rock in person. He had a wonderful permeating warm presence all across that conference.

    Hi All!  I always try to go to the FASEB Phospholipids meeting every other year in the summer (next week in Minnesota!), SERLC (every Fall in Asheville, NC) and GRC lipids.  SERLC only students (PhD and undergrads) and postdocs give talks, so its a great spot for training and to recruit postdocs!!!

    By the way, I am always looking for postdocs, if you are graduating soon and interested in living in Nashville, send me an email :)

    See you in Minnesota next week! I'll be at my favorite - the FASEB Lipid Droplet conference. It's going to be a lot of fun having this co-located with FASEB Phospholipids! Lipid extravaganza!!

    A few others - Deuel Conference on Lipids, EMBO Lipid Droplet, Kern meeting... Keystone has a "Lipids in Cellular Function and Disease" this year. Not sure if that one is new?

    Thanks James!  I unfortunately had a family conflict and now can't make your FASEB meeting next week :-(

    But if you (or anyone else on this page) is available, please stop by my postdoc's poster (Dr. Jazmine Yaeger, poster session #2, poster #115) to provide us some feedback on some of our recent findings regarding LDs in our sterol-associated disease model.  We would appreciate the feedback!

    We'll miss you, Kevin! Hope that all is well. Looking forward to meeting Jazmine and hearing about her work! Sounds very interesting!

    I had missed the discussion in March. Good suggestions!

    I attended the European Network for Oxysterol Research (ENOR) meeting last year and will be attending this year too. This is a smaller and more focused group.

    Also wanted to put in a plug for the FASEB SRC on Protein Lipidation which happens every other year and is about to start in a couple of days -
