Each team leader (or a designated representative) will be responsible for collecting a signed general release form from any team member registering on-site and handing it in at registration in order to obtain your team box. Team leaders are responsible for making sure individual team members receive the materials in the box. |
Teams will be allowed to practice on Friday night (November 1st) at MIT, beginning at 5:00pm. You can practice your presentation, and get to know fellow iGEM members. There are a limited number of rooms available, so please sign up online to reserve a room and time slot.

You will receive your name badge as part of your team box, as long as you have submitted your general release form. Please wear your badge at all times during the Jamboree and make sure it is clearly visible. Badges will be necessary for entrance into presentation rooms, for access to food, and for the iGEM social event. If you do not have a badge, you must register in order to obtain one. | |

This year there are four presentation rooms located across the campus. Your team’s scheduled presentation time slot, session, and room have all been randomly assigned. Please see your team box for information on when and where your team will be presenting.
Presentations will take place on Saturday and Sunday. The schedule for presentations is divided into sessions based on track. If you are attending a presentation, please be courteous, stay for the whole session, and only leave the room during the scheduled breaks. Each team has 20 minutes of presentation time, 5 minutes for questions and answers, and 5 minutes to switch with the next presenters. Please be sure to bring the necessary equipment for your presentation, such as your laptop, cables/adaptors, and power supply, as iGEM will not provide these.

Each World Championship team is required to present a poster at the Jamboree to judges and Jamboree attendees. There will be two formal poster receptions: one on Saturday, and one on Sunday. Teams have been randomly assigned to a poster session. Poster locations have been randomly assigned between the two main hubs: Stata Center, and Lobby 13.

iGEM has moved! Come visit us at our great new space in One Kendall Square Monday November 4th between 3PM – 6PM! We are a short walk from the Stata Center, on the corner of Hampshire Street and Cardinal Medeiros Avenue. See the map for directions. |
If you need to check out of your hotel on Monday morning and need to stow your luggage somewhere, you can bring it to Kresge Auditorium. However, we cannot guarantee that it will be locked or supervised during the awards ceremony.
