Diversity at Evolution
In service to the goals of our three sponsoring societies (ASN, SSB, and SSE), the conference organizers and the Joint Meeting Committee are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of our attendees. This commitment starts with our choice of the conference location; our existing meeting policies specify that we will not schedule conferences in states with laws that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, at the time we sign contracts with the convention center and hotels. During the conference we also support various social and educational activities that focus on inclusivity and networking.
