Jamboree Schedule

TBD

Team Boxes

Your team box will contain the following:

• Team member badges
• A booklet for each team member containing Jamboree Handbook, program schedule, map of the VU campus, information about public transport in Amsterdam and sponsor information

Badges

You will receive a name badge as part of your team box. Please wear your badge at all times during the Jamboree. In this way you make yourself known to other participants, and badges are necessary to enter presentation rooms, as well as for access to food and the iGEM diner and party.

Team spirit

At the Jamboree you will be representing your team, university and country, so why not show off! Designing team t-shirts is always a good idea. Make sure to distinguish your team and be well visible in the iGEM group picture. Wear your team's logo, or give a nod to your team's sponsors. We also encourage you to find new ways to showcase your team spirit.

Practice presentation

At Friday, the teams are welcome to practice their presentations. There are a limited number of room’s available, sign up online on the practice sessions page to reserve your time-slot. Practice sessions will run from TBD. We cannot match the practice room with the room that you will give your presentation in on Saturday.
