IOBC Awards to Attend the 3rd Combined Australian and New Zealand Entomological Societies Conference

The Entomological Society of America (ESA), located in the U.S., serves the professional and scientific needs of entomologists and individuals in related disciplines from around the world. ESA is hosting its Annual Meeting November 13-16, 2011 in Reno, Nevada USA. With nearly 3,000 entomologists presenting nearly 2,000 scientific presentations in >70 symposia and >50 other scientific sessions, this will be the largest entomological event in the world this year. If travel funds, visas, or other barriers prevent you from attending the largest research-focused conference on entomology in the world, ESA offers you an exciting technology where you can still present your work and reach thousands of entomologists. ESA’s ‘Virtual Posters’ allow you to submit your presentation online, and during the meeting, interested attendees view your research and discuss it personally with you. It’s simple to do and it’s a great opportunity to be cited, to receive a certificate documenting your achievement, and build your worldwide network. Online translation services are provided. Virtual Posters are only offered to individuals located outside of the United States. To learn more, visit www.entsoc.org/am/cm/submit/virtualposters.htm. Note that the submission site closes on June 2, 2011 so don’t delay, submit today! For general information on ESA, visit www.entsoc.org.
