There are a number of resources available to help spread the word about the GMOD project. You are encouraged to use these in any situation where applicable.
Speakers
Speakers are available to give presentations at your institution or event. Past topics have included project overviews (e.g., this talk at Texas A&M), general areas of GMOD (GMOD for Comparative Genomics at ISyIP), and specific GMOD Components (the MAKER and GBrowse_syn workshops at PAG 2010). Presentations can range from short talks (Demonstration of Pathway Tools at ISMB 2010), to workshops with multiple speakers (ISMB 2009), to highly interactive and hands-on tutorials (GBrowse PAG 2010 Workshop). See Training and Outreach for a more complete list of recent topics.

Presentation and Event Promotion
If you are giving a presentation or event with significant GMOD content, we can help you spread the word about it in a number of ways:
- Announce it to the appropriate GMOD Mailing Lists.
- Post it the GMOD News page and RSS feed.
- Link to it from the appropriate component pages.
- Add it to the GMOD Calendar and to the Training and Outreach page.
If you are organizing an event with significant GMOD content, or if you are presenting at an event that has a lot of GMOD content, then we can help prepare a flier, highlighting those talks, that can be distributed at the event.
