Exocrine Glands: Development, Function, and Disease 2027

It is held at Four Points Sheraton / Holiday Inn Express in Ventura, California.

The listed audiences include basic scientists, clinicians, bioengineers, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty.

It is most useful for basic scientists, bioengineers and clinicians working on gland biology, and for graduate students and postdocs, since the five-day residential format, poster sessions open to all career stages and shared meals put early-career people in direct contact with senior researchers. Those wanting a vendor-heavy show or broad clinical updates would get less from it, because Gordon conferences are small, discussion-led research meetings away from a city.

Attendees at Gordon Research Conferences usually dress casually, in jeans or shorts, t-shirts and comfortable shoes, with a light layer for evenings on the California coast in winter.
