The course of the meeting will follow the SPNHC tradition with fieldtrips on Sunday and Monday, committee meetings and opening on Tuesday, themed sessions including posters, demo camps and side events from Wednesday through Friday and workshops on Saturday (with one scheduled for two days).
The premises of the conference venue enable us to bring together tradeshow, poster demonstrations and catering in a very convenient way and thus creating a very central and vivid place for everybody. This will especially be attractive for our vendors and sponsors – but also for authors of posters. The meeting will be held in parallel with the 2nd International Conference on Biodiversity Biobanking of the Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN, http://meetings.ggbn.org/site/ggbn2016).
