All, Just a quick note to alert you that iDigBio is hosting two symposia at next year's SPNHC (Society for Preservation of Natural History Collection) meeting in Denver (https://www.idigbio.org/content/spnhc-2017-call-abstracts). One of the symposia is titled "Advances in Digitization Worldwide", and iDigBio would be pleased to see the BID community to engage with SPNHC and submit abstracts for consideration for this or other symposia. There are a number of travel grants available (http://www.spnhc2017denver.org/travel-grants/), but note: the deadline for both travel grants and abstracts is January 13, 2017. You can learn more about the SPNHC conference here: http://www.spnhc2017denver.org Please review the opportunity-best of luck to those of you who choose to apply! All best, Kyle ===== Kyle Copas +45 35 32 14 75 | mobile +45 28 75 14 75 | Skype kylecopas GBIF Secretariat Universitetsparken 15 2100 Copenhagen Ø Denmark http://www.gbif.org<http://www.gbif.org/>
