Dear Forest Entomologists and Pathologists:

I've been asked to inform you about the upcoming 11th annual meeting of the International Pest Risk Research Group that will occur in Ottawa, Canada from 29 August – 1 September, 2017.  See attached announcement. This group includes research scientists and pest risk practitioners who are actively working to develop enhanced pest risk modelling and mapping methods for invasive alien species.  You can learn more about the group at www.pestrisk.org
