AGM 2018
Date and time:                 19 October 2018, 17:00
Location:                      SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne, Switzerland
Chair:                         Robin Ali (RA) (ESGCT president)

Opening
RA opens the meeting and presents agenda.

Elections
RA presents the results of the Board election.

Lausanne 2018
RA presents the statistics for the 2018 Annual Congress. 1303 delegates registered,
which is a record for the society. For the first time, there are more registrations from
industry than academia. RA summarises that the 2018 Annual Congress was a very
successful meeting and refers to the excellent location, venue, food and the strong
and varied programme.

Awards
RA presents the winners of the Travel Grants and OAA and YIA. Didier Trono (OAA)
delivered his award lecture on Tuesday, Alessio Cantore (YIA) will speak later today.

Membership
RA presents membership statistics. ESGCT currently has 1003 members, for the first
time >1000. Over the past few years, there has been a dramatic rise in membership
overall, but particularly in industry memberships.

2017 accounts
RA presents the financial situation of the society. The positive current bank balance
means that the society is financially secure and can also invest in new activities and
grants. The society can invest further in, for example, travel grants and the Spring
School which already benefit PhD students and ECRs.

Initiatives
RA says that ESGCT’s main aims are to promote science, exchange knowledge,
educate the next generation of graduate students, engage general public and work
with regulatory agencies. He then presents impact initiatives that ESGCT is planning
for the future.

Partnerships
RA presents partnerships with national societies of gene and cell therapy, international
societies including ISSCR, ASGCT and JSGCT, and the society journal HGT.

Next AGM
RA announces that the next AGM will take place on Friday 25 October 2019 in
Barcelona, Spain during the 2019 Annual Congress.

Close
RA asks whether there are any questions and, in the absence of any questions, closes
the AGM.
