IAS Symposium - Kew 2004

From: "Peter Boyce" p.boyce at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2001.06.19 at 16:08:46(6754) Dear All Apologies for the long radio silence on this. In essence the IAS Symposium will be happening at Kew in 2004. I say in essence because the one item yet to be finalized is how costs to the Institute will be met, i.e., will Kew cover costs over and above those met by Registration Fees or will we (i.e. myself and Simon Mayo) need to begin fund raising from external sponsors to meet those expenses. We cannot answer this until we have a decision from the Director - the questions have been asked, we're waiting for the reply. So, in summary, pencil in 2004 - August - IAS Symposium - Kew in your diaries and watch this space.

Thank you, God Bless. +More --- Peter Boyce wrote: > Dear All > > Apologies for the long radio silence on this. In > essence the IAS > Symposium will be happening at Kew in 2004.

From: Scott Hyndman hyndman at aroid.org> on 2001.06.20 at 06:45:31(6764) Pete, Thank you for the update on the International Aroid Symposium. Is there any chance of having the symposium during one of the Royal Horticultural Society shows? You mentioned August so I don't know how set your time table is at this point, or what RHS events are possibly held then too. I know that the annually phenomenal Chelsea Show is in late May, and then there is the equally impressive Hampton Court Show in June. I think that such timing would be very well received by many, especially for us horticulturally inclined types to be able to see a RHS show along with attending the symposium. I think that my preference would be echoed by many others that are on Aroid-L that might be considering attending the symposium even though it is three years away. A well timed symposium with the possibility of attending a RHS show would be a further draw and inducement to attend. Please let us know if this is possible.

From: "Peter Boyce" p.boyce at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2001.06.20 at 15:17:11(6765) Hi Scott Yes, we could do that. I'd probably prefer to aim for Hampton Court (usually mid-July, by the way) which would give us a slightly longer lead-in to the Symposium and also avoid the risk that our Hort. folk would be tied up with Chelsea (where we often exhibit). As I mentioned in my previous email, we're still waiting for the 'nod' on the funding front and thus we're pretty flexible date-wise.

I believe that this is a full year ahead of when you made your initial plans. Please let me know if there is any way I can help out. The Kew conference is bound to be a success because of the strong attraction you can provide for participants.
