The 10th World Congress was inaugurated by organizers Filippo Miglior and John Pollak in Vancouver at 8 pm on Sunday 17 Aug, preceded by a cocktail to warm up attendees’ epigenomes. We return to these congresses each time in higher numbers, now over 1500 participants. The arrangements were very good and the weather cherished us all week, including the boat trip out to open sea among the small hydroplanes whirling up and down around us on the water. The new technology was adopted in presenting the posters (of rather dated outlay though) and the talks could now be easily found by author names and also re-listened to at the congress web site. It is not easy to itemise separate themes or avoid overlaps in reviewing the congress, where the sessions were thoroughly filled or hollowed by our extensive genome-wide studies.
