CALL FOR PROPOSALS
10TH ICPS CONFERENCE 2014
After this summer's successful and exciting 9th ICPS Conference in Seekonk, USA, it is now time to begin thinking about the next ICPS Conference scheduled for 2014.
According to the principle of fair global distribution and the set schedule, the next venue should preferably be located in Asia/Australia/New Zealand.
If you or your society feels this should be your turn, please email a proposal by 31 March 2013 to marcel@carnivorousplants.org.
Your proposal should include: contact details on the person/society who would organize the Conference, the intended venue (location, capacity, equipment), travel details, accommodations, field trip opportunities, and any ideas that will assist the ICPS Board of Directors to select your proposal.
Please understand that, while potentially interesting from a theoretical perspective, proposals without a direct (personal) commitment to organize a Conference cannot be accepted for serious consideration (or further discussion) by the Board.
The ICPS is prepared to distribute information on the forthcoming event to its members and, if requested, monetary support to cover advance expenses. The Conference should, however, be economically self-sustained so a loan by the ICPS can be reimbursed subsequently. If requested, the ICPS will consider publishing the Conference Proceedings.
If you have questions about what should be in a proposal or how to set up a Conference, first take a look at our Conference Manual that contains tips, tricks, and hard-earned experience of those who organized previous Conferences. This will be downloadable from our homepage shortly.
Alternatively, contact me and I'll send you a copy and/or try to answer your questions.
