Once again, we will be kicking off our year with our annual trip to San Diego for PAG XXIII. This year, it could not come at a better time. Over the last few weeks, it has been bitter cold in Montana with temps barely reaching above zero degrees and I for one am looking forward to the warm sun. And moreover, this being my first PAG, I am really looking forward to meeting some of you!

This year you will find us at booth 124 and with the addition of Genomic Prediction to SVS, we have some great product demonstrations as well as t-shirt give-aways lined up for you. If you haven’t seen our latest designs, you can check them out here.
