The AFCG annual meeting provides an invaluable opportunity for people in the Australasian region involved in Flow Cytometry and associated fields to exchange ideas, be exposed to new techniques, cutting-edge technology and participate in the development of industry standards.

The 2008 meeting ran over 3 days (Wednesday 13th to Friday 15th August, 2008) and was preceded by a one-day workshop on Tuesday 12th August 2008 focusing on technical aspects of flow cytometry.
