About the Conference
We are pleased to announce the call for abstract submissions to SPNHC-TDWG 2024, a hybrid conference hosted jointly by the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC) and Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). The conference will be held 2โ6 September 2024 in Okinawa, Japan. In addition to opening and closing plenaries, the conference will feature symposia, workshops, lightning talks and panel discussions as well as contributed oral presentations and virtual posters (see Sessions list).
Invitation to submit abstract
At this time, we invite you to submit abstracts for 15-minute oral presentations, poster presentations, and lightning talks. Content may be presented in-person or pre-recorded. We are working on providing the technology to support remote participation for presenters. Accepted abstracts will be published via Oxford Abstracts (OA). Final approval for publication requires payment of any conference registration fees by the presenter. Authors additionally will have the option to publish an extended version of their abstract in Biodiversity Information Science and Standards (BISS), where slides and video recordings can be associated (details to be announced in May). Please visit the conference website for more information and to see details in the Submission Guidelines for OA Abstracts.
