This year’s annual European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) meeting will be held in Milan from Saturday 31^st May until Tuesday 3^rd June. The meeting attracts over 3000 delegates, both clinicians and academics, from all corners of the globe and of the field.

BMC Medical Genetics and BMC Medical Genomics will be attending this conference. In the spirit of the capital of Italian style, we will be looking into what’s hot right now in human genetics research and showing off our own fashion-forward brand of accessible open-access, high quality publishing. If you will also be attending and would like to talk about your work and find out about opportunities to contribute to the journal then please get in touch with Executive Editor Tim Sands
