To Prospective Sponsor/Exhibitor
I hope all is going well with you and your organization.
We are delighted to introduce the 2019 Transgenic Technology Meeting (TT2019), a major
event of the International Society for Transgenic Technologies, Inc. (ISTT)
< https://www.transtechsociety.org/index.php >, to be held on April 7-10, 2019, in the lively
metropolitan city of Kobe, Japan. We cordially invite your organization to participate as a
sponsor and/or an exhibitor.
The TT Meeting provides an international venue for fostering active scientific information
exchanges and education amongst participants with a goal of advancing the technologies in
genetically engineered animal models. TT2019 represents something of a milestone, the 15th
holding of this event since its inception. This memorable occasion for the ISTT will be hosted for
the first time in Japan. The main host of TT2019 is RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics
Research (BDR), one of the strategic life science research centers of the RIKEN Institute,
Japan’s largest comprehensive research organization for basic and applied sciences. It is also
co-sponsored by the Molecular Biology Society of Japan.
Our plan for TT2019 is to incorporate diverse topics in transgenic technologies, not limited to
mouse research, but also a variety of other animal models in biomedical and applied sciences.
We anticipate a large body of delegates from all over the world, creating an exceptional
occasion of scientific and social comingling with a global perspective. This will also be an
outstanding opportunity for your organization to introduce its activity and products to an
international audience.
We would greatly appreciate your kind consideration on this invitation to participate in such a
unique and productive opportunity, and we sincerely look forward to hearing favorably back
from you.
Respectfully yours,
Yasuhide Furuta, Ph.D.

5. AIMS and PERSPECTS OF THE CONFERENCE
Since its inception in 1999 prior to the establishment of the ISTT, the TT meeting has
been held around the world, mainly in Europe and North America alternatively, with
occasional appearances in Australia and China in 2006 and 2013, respectively. In response
to voices expressing a strong desire to hold it in the east again, we are delighted to host the
next TT Meeting (TT2019) in Japan for the first time at its memorable 15th holding.
The TT Meeting series is one of the most important attributes of ISTT. Through this
meeting, ISTT aims to promote information exchange and education on the global scale
with a focus on technological innovation in the production of transgenic animals and facility
management, thus in turn, to contribute to scientific progress. TT Meeting is also an
exceptionally unique event that allows research staff at all levels (not only researchers with
doctorate degrees, but also facility managers, technologists and students who normally
have rare opportunities to participate in international conferences) to gain knowledge on
new technologies.
An outstanding program has been developed for TT2019 that allows discussion on a
wide range of topics from classical genetic manipulation technologies, latest innovations in
genome editing, facility management to ethics of animal experiments. The conference also
contributes to succession of important common technologies and knowledge in the fields. It
is expected that the majority of the delegates will be international participants, mainly from
North America and Europe, as well as many other regions of the globe, making TT 2019 an
exceptional occasion for your organization to interact with researchers and technical staff
internationally.
