The 51st annual Southern Forest Insect Work Conference will be 4-7 August 2008 in Chattanooga, Tennessee USA. We are currently working with the hotel (Chattanooga Marriott at the Convention Center in downtown Chattanooga) to determine the group rate for reservations. I'll send out specific information as soon as it becomes available. Please submit your ideas for plenary and concurrent session topics to the Program Chairman, Chris Asaro at chris.asaro(a)dof.virginia.gov or 434-220-9060. Keep in mind that there was no AD Hopkins award winner last year so we will have an extra hour on Tuesday morning for the Plenary Session. Hope to see you in Chattanooga on August 4! - Will Shepherd William P.
