Call for Workshops
Botany 2004 represents the annual meeting of four professional societies, including: the American Bryological and Lichenological Society (ABLS), the American Fern Society (AFS), the American Society of Plant Taxonomists(ASPT), and the Botanical Society of America (BSA). The conference will be held in Snowbird, Utah from July 31 to August 5, 2004, and the theme for Botany 2004 will be “Alpine Diversity: Adapted to the Peaks.”
Members of all participating societies
are encouraged to organize and present workshops at the annual meeting.
Workshops are theme-based, can focus on a variety of educational or research
topics,
and typically include a hands-on presentation style. Most workshops include
either a two-hour, half-day or a full-day program and take place on Sunday
(as part of the Education/Outreach Forum), or on Thursday, the days before
or after the paper, poster and symposium sessions.
Workshops are ticketed events and generally
have limited enrollments. Careful consideration must be given to logistical
issues and to support facilities such as computers, laboratory requirements,
and seating style
