Event Description

The University of Adelaide will host the first-ever Southern Hemisphere barcode conference, co-organized by CBOL and co-hosted by several biodiversity institutions and initiatives in Australia. The goals of the conference are: highlighting the great progress barcoding has made since the Mexico City Conference in November 2009; learning about barcoding activities in Australia and the region; and bringing barcoders together to exchange ideas and plan new activities.

The week’s events will start with two days of pre-conference training opportunities in barcoding informatics and lab procedures, with sessions designed for beginners and more advanced barcoders. These are followed by four days of main conference sessions with an afternoon of free time for exploring Adelaide and the nearby beaches, wineries, and nature reserves. The conference program will include the latest developments in iBOL and Australian barcoding.

Preliminary agenda available: 1 April

Online abstract submission system opens: 1 April

Sponsorship opportunities open: 1 April

Travel bursary applications open: 15 April

Comment by Lyndell M. Bade on October 18, 2011 at 11:53am: Would love to be there, but it's just too far for me to go this time...it looks great though and it sounds like I would benefit. Will there be any online components (twitter feed?) or livestreaming of sessions? I would definitely follow from the Northern Hemisphere if that was possible!

Comment by Brian E. Isabirye on August 4, 2011 at 3:39am: I will definitely want to attend this event. The program is organized in such a way that even even first timers in the subject matter will greatly benefit.

Comment by Ahmed Rahaman Ademolu on March 15, 2011 at 1:19pm: Yes, This is an opportunity for me to achieve my goal in DNA barcoding as courses for beginers are available. I have been looking forward for such courses because of my keen in in bar coding but unfortunately still very new in Nigeria. No a single place in Nigeria for the study.

I say Hurray to myself
