Hi Quentin,

All,

 

Thanks for letting us know. We are working with GEO BON on the meeting venue, our meeting will likely be a satellite closed event for the GEO BON conference, and I hope to use their spaces. Of course, you will leave when necessary, taking the taxi if needed – no worries. I hope to hear from GEO BON soon, and we fix everything.

 

Many thanks Quentin, Varos and John for adding your biographies and photos for the GBIF news about your group.

 

Best regards,

Dmitry Schigel

Hi Dmitry, I'm staying at the City Partner Suite Hotel Leipzig, Permoser Strasse 50, 04328 Leipzig, though I have not yet booked for the days that cover our meeting.

A venue closer to the airport might be more convenient, it looks like I will gave to hurry off before 17:00 on Monday to make my flight.
