Briefings in bioinformatics
2025#26Issue 6

In response to the need for greater cohesion among regional conferences, the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNET) set out in 2015 to realize a long-held aspiration-a single, unifying bioinformatics super conference for the Asia & Pacific community. Nearly a decade of persistence, coordination, and coalition-building led to the inaugural Asia & Pacific Bioinformatics Joint Congress (APBJC2024) in Okinawa, Japan. Now established as a triennial event, APBJC stands as a testament to the power of collective vision and shared purpose, offering a unifying platform for regional collaboration and scientific exchange. Tagline: Bringing a Region Together: The Making of APBJC.
