impending deadline for IUFRO Congress registration

by Andrew Liebhold

Dear FORENT 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 insects 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Liebhold 304-285-1512 Northern Research Station 304-285-1505 FAX USDA Forest Service 724-317-8668 mobile 180 Canfield St. aliebhold(a)fs.fed.us Morgantown, WV26505 USA http://sandyliebhold.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
