The following are presentations from the 10th Aroid Conference in Nancy, France in July of 2009. Although the index is freely available, you will need to login in order to view the presentations - they are available to IAS members and attendees only. You can use the same login as for the newsletter and members area, or if you are a conference attendee who is not a member of the IAS, you will receive a username and password combination by e-mail. If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to mail Albert Huntington to have them resolved.
Pictures from the conference are available here to members.
Please note that these slides are for your private enjoyment and may not be reproduced except with written permission of the authors.
The files are around 5MB in size with the exception of Dr. Tom Croat's encyclopedic presentation on the IAS, which is closer to 25MB. Download with a fast connection is recommended.
Of particular interest to aroiders will be:
Dr. Croat's history of the IAS with many pictures of personalities over the years.
Wilbert Hetterscheid's synthesis of Amorphophallus
Niels Jacobsen on Cryptocoryne
Various items from Day 2 on Horticulture
The majority of the presentations have many nice photographs to accompany the research - it's not a difficult read, and most have some interest for both the scientific and non-scientific audience.
Finally - if you are not a member of the IAS, or if your membership has lapsed, please consider joining for access to this content and much more on the members page, our journal Aroideana, and our quarterly newsletters. It's easy to join online, and your dues help support aroid research and education.
