Re: [Aroid-l] Nancy Aroid Conference

From: Albert M Huntington <amh at ieee.org> on 2009.07.17 at 16:32:56(19561) Folks, Thanks for your corrections & thoughts on the pictures in the gallery. I did promise a lot of typos/etc, did I not? I have also made available most of the presentations from the conference in PDF format, with the permission of the authors. The url is http://www.aroid.org/conference09/ Although the index ( with pictures of presenters ) is available to anyone, only IAS members can view the slides using the same username and password as for the newsletter and other members pages ( see your last newsletter e-mail ). Conference attendees should also receive an e-mail from the organizers at some point with a working username and password. Of particular interest to all aroiders not present at the conference would be an excellent ( and long ) history of the IAS and conferences by Tom Croat, Wilbert Hetterscheid's talk on Amorphophallus, and many presentations from botanical gardens on Aroid horticulture. If you are not a member of the IAS and would like to join in order to access this content and much more, please consider joining online at http://www.aroid.org/society/joinias.php If you ARE a current IAS member and need the latest username and password, were at the conference and would like access in advance of the general e-mail, or have corrections, please contact me privately at huntington@aroid.org --Albert HTML +More From: Marek Argent To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 11:17:47 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Nancy Aroid Conference Hello: A small correction: "Anthuriums for decoration were kindly donated by Anthuria BV" Anthura not Anthuria http://www.anthura.nl/page/en/home Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert M Huntington" To: "Discussion of aroids" Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:00 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Nancy Aroid Conference Dear Everyone, I too have just returned from the conference - it was a great event and wonderfully organized by Geneviève, Marc and their many helpers. We all had an excellent time, and it was a great experience to see so many old friends and meet so many new ones. I have posted an album of pictures from the conference at http://www.aroid.org/gallery/conference09/ I would like to apologize in advance that: a) Not all the aroiders present were pictured - I did not get to everyone, and even fewer are actually captioned. b) Some of the indoor photos were taken in VERY low light and are a little grainy/blurry when blown up. c) I've undoubtedly spelt some names incorrectly, left some out, or generally offended by the tone of my captions - again please accept my apologies. I know I've left out various accents and titles, at the very least. I have electronic copies of most of the presentations, which will be posted in the members section of aroid.org soon. Conference attendees will also have access to these slides. I will let you know when they are posted. All the best, --Albert --0-1007217337-1247848376=:87873----==============B14081813174368161=
