Fourth International Barcode of Life Conference: Call for Expression of Interest from Potential Host Organizations
The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) will be holding the Fourth International Barcode of Life Conference in late 2011 and invites expressions of interest from organizations interested in hosting the conference. Previous conferences have been hosted by The Natural History Museum, London (February 2005), Academia Sinica (September 2007) and Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (November 2009) and preference will be given to organizations in regions that have not previously hosted a barcode conference.
The host organization will be asked to designate a conference chair and local organizing committee who will work closely with CBOL in planning the conference. The committee will be responsible for: providing a meeting venue that will be of interest to scientists; hiring a conference management company with which logistical arrangements will be made; and obtaining partial funding of the conference from co-sponsors. The conference chair will be a member of the technical program committee that will plan the conference agenda and select speakers.
CBOL Member Organizations are invited to express their interest in hosting the conference by contacting David Schindel. Please include the name and contact information for the proposed conference chair.
Expressions of interest are requested by 15 July 2010.
