20th World Orchid Conference - Singapore?

[Bolero]

So is anyone planning to go? They have created a website at the following link:

20th WOC - 20th WOC

Looks like an amazing venue, I may be going hopefully.

Interesting.... maybe, I could plan my holidays for 2011 in Singapore

Weird that the deadline for submission of Abstract is almost 2 years before the Congress... way too early (IMO)...

[Bolero]

I'm probably to early with this post but I will raise it again closer to the time (unless someone else does). It is interesting that the Abstracts are so early as well, they must be really well organised.

well, but they call for scientific and horticultural abstract... any "novelty" discovery or trend, would be more or less obsolte by the time of the congress... I do not see the point of it...

[Bolero]

Ah I see, I have to be honest and say I didn't know what Abstracts were (I thought maybe they were something guest speakers submitted).

You make a very good point.

an Abstract is the summary of the presentation... normally, in a scientific context, people bring something new to a congress, something not yer published... two years in advance is therefore quite a lot! I hope they have made a mistake, and it should be 2010!
