ABSTRACT The 45th Annual David Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis was held from August 21st–24th 2024 on the Campus of the University of British Columbia. The Workshop, which honors the legacy of Dr. David W. Smith, brought together clinicians, researchers, and their trainees from around the world interested in congenital malformations and their underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis. This year's five themes included: skeletal morphogenesis, neural tube defects, craniofacial development, indigenous and unique populations, and unsolved disorders, in addition to the family experience with the preceding themes. We provide a broad overview of the workshop and highlight the keynote speaker presentations and other selected works.
