Please find attached the preliminary programme with all the relevant information on the congress and the registration form.

 

We hope that many of you might participate to this exciting event, contributing to make it a success with many presentations in oral, poster, workshop and picture show format. To encourage you all to submit many contributions in the 5 sessions of Thursday and Friday (the 2 congress days), we listed 53 possible topic ideas on page 3 of the registration form. Please have a look at this list and prepare your contribution accordingly!

 

As tradition we would also ask all participating gardens to prepare a short presentation describing their home garden for the welcome session of Wednesday afternoon, the first congress day!

 

The congress gran finale will be on Saturday with a fantastic day trip in the Brenta Dolomites, recently designated world heritage site, with a unique opportunity to go botanising in one of the best scenery of the Alps.

 

So what are you waiting for? Register today!!, filling in the attached registration form and e-mailing it to aabg.3rd@xxxxxxxxx non later than the 30th of May 2012!!

 

Please do not hesitate to come back to me for any additional information or clarification that you might require. We look forward to seeing you numerous in Viotte next September

Kind Regards

 

Costa

on behalf of the congress scientific committee
