The annual Jamboree celebrates the culmination of the iGEM competition. All teams gather during the first weekend of November at MIT's Stata Center to share their parts and projects in competition for awards of excellence. Many teams leave as winners, but only one leaves as the year's champion.

Teams share their accomplishments online, via the iGEM 2007 wiki and the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, and through a poster and a 20-minute presentation at the Jamboree. The judging process begins online one week before the Jamboree, during which the entire community evaluates each team's contribution to the iGEM wiki and to the Registry. The responsibility then narrows to the Official Judging Committee, which judges each team's poster and presentation during the Jamboree.

In addition to the core Jamboree events on November 3 - 4 this year, we hope you'll stick around for the Registry workshop on the 4th & 5th and the BioBricks Foundation workshop on the 5th & 6th. The Registry Workshop will cover topics relating to models for Part Peer-Review and Registry2.0. The BioBricks Foundation workshop (separate registration required) will consider legal and characterization standards.
