We will need a minimum of five participants for this tour.

Past Annual Meetings

Camcore 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting, November 30 -December 2 and December 7-9, 2021

Unfortunately, the Camcore Annual Meeting was once again held online via zoom. While we continue to miss travelling and meeting with our colleagues in person the 2021 Annual Meeting was an excellent opportunity to share some of the exciting research being done by Camcore and our members. Over a two-week period we held six sessions over a two-week period on the Zoom platform.

Camcore 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting, December 1-December 10, 2020

As with everything else in this strange year, the 2020 Annual Meeting will not be what we have enjoyed in past years. Since we cannot all be present in one place this year, we will conduct our 2020 Annual Meeting online where we can review the status of our research and breeding projects, have some member presentations, and plan for 2021 and beyond. Specifically, we held six Annual Meeting sessions over a two-week period, using Zoom.
