PAGC Annual Spring Meeting
March 26-27, 2026
Penn Harris Hotel and Conference Center
in Harrisburg
The 2026 PAGC Conference will serve as a pilot year for a new method of conference organization. To best represent the interests of Pennsylvania GCs, as well as highlight the incredible work of genetic counseling professionals around the state, we are asking for presentation submissions for this year's conference. This is not a call for abstracts for student presentations or posters - that will be coming in early 2026). Additionally, we are not accepting proposals for sponsored talks at this time.
All presentations will be considered; however, submission is NOT a guarantee of acceptance. Each presentation will be evaluated on the criteria of relevance, novelty, and clarity.
Please see the scoring rubric below.
If you are interested in being considered for a presentation (either as a presenter or moderator) at this year’s PAGC conference, please fill out the Google Form here: PAGC 2026 Call for Presentations
