Formal abstract submission & acceptance is now closed.
The 5th International Workshop on the Science and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs will be held on June 19-23, 2024 in Singapore. The meeting will be hosted by the Nature Society Singapore in association with the IUCN Horseshoe Crab Specialist Group. The location for the conference will be the Resorts World Convention Centre at Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore (www.rwsentosa.com).
The meeting program will include plenary speakers, oral presentations, and a poster session. There will also be opportunities to engage in workshops on horseshoe crab conservation, with particular emphasis on developing a Conservation Action Plan for the Asian horseshoe crabs. There will also be several after-meeting sightseeing trips to explore a variety of sites in Singapore.
At this time, we invite you to submit an abstract for presentation at the 5th International Workshop on the Science and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs. Be sure to follow the Instructions for Preparation of Abstracts.
The deadline for receipt of abstracts has been extended to 07 April 2024.
Please note that we will only have space for a limited number of oral presentations in each session, and consequently it may be necessary to request that a presentation be given as a poster instead of a talk.
Thank you very much. We look forward to seeing you in Singapore next June.
Sincerely,
