Attend the ASHG Career Fair

Held in the Exhibit Hall Thursday and Friday (3:00pm-5:00pm) and Saturday (2:15pm-4:15pm), the Career Fair will connect attendees at all experience levels who are seeking jobs with groups that are actively hiring. This event is open to all meeting registrants. For the locations of companies, institutes, and universities participating, check the Exhibit Hall Floor Plan.

Find New Jobs and Post on the Online Career Center

ASHG no longer supplies a physical job board at the Annual Meeting. However, ASHG’s online job board connects the innovative and energetic ASHG community with highly relevant positions in human genetics and genomics. There is no cost to post a resume and search positions, and job posting is discounted for ASHG members! For questions, email careerprograms@ashg.org.

Headshot Lounge

Need an updated professional headshot? Make sure you check out the Career Fair Headshot Lounge which will be available as part of the Career Fair in the Exhibit Hall Saturday, November 4th, from 2:15 pm – 4:15 pm. Headshots are free, but space is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Be Aware of Scams for Housing and Attendee Lists

Be alert! ASHG members and meeting attendees are being approached by companies or visiting websites that falsely claim to be official ASHG hotel partners or offer “the best rates.” Many of these are scams. We strongly suggest you book using the hotel links provided on ASHG’s website or another reputable and known travel website. Members and exhibitors have reported lost reservations and unrecoverable expenses from such scams and fake sites. Please pay careful attention when booking, and we look forward to welcoming you to Washington D.C.

Another common scam is an offer of the official attendee email list for ASHG 2023. ASHG does not sell, rent, or share contact/lead lists of members or meeting attendees. None of these companies are legitimate. Please reach out to exhibits@ashg.org for advertising and sponsorship options to reach ASHG meeting attendees and to report suspicious contacts.
