Our meeting will overlap with the 2nd International Congress on Biological Invasions and the International Forestry Quarantine Research Group (IFQRG). The dates above include all three meetings. This overlap will allow for extended opportunities for networking, topnotch presentations, and for participating in IFQRG, which has the opportunity to influence the policies of the International Plant Protection Convention. It's a golden opportunity! See attached file for more information on the sessions that are planned, and please let me know if you would like to be put on the Conference mailing list, to receive more information once hotel and registration costs are known.
