Dear FORPATH followers:
As you may know, registration for the
IUFRO World Congress in South Korea, 23-28, August is now open at http://www.iufro2010.com
What you may not know is that presenting
authors of all accepted Oral and Poster presentations must register for
the Congress on-line before April 30th. Failure to meet this deadline
will automatically mean that your presentation will be deleted from the
program (and the book of abstracts). We have what I think is a really
incredible assortment of symposia related to forest pathology organized
for the IUFRO Congress - perhaps the best scientific program of any IUFRO
Congress to date. However, it is critically important that all speakers
need to complete their registration by April 30 - otherwise your slot will
become empty and this will hurt the program greatly.
Secondly, at the same web site, you
can register for the post-congress forest health tour. I would urge
all of you that are planning to attend the IUFRO Congress to participate
in this post-Congress event. My experience from similar venues has
been that these types of tours are a great opportunity to meet new colleagues
from other countries, as well as to enjoy incredible memories with old
friends. For visitors to Korea, such as myself, this tour will be a great
chance to become familiar with some of the serious forest insect and disease
problems in east Asia. The number of slots available for the tour
are limited so I'd urge you to sign up soon while there is still space...
-Sandy
