2006 ANNUAL MEETING

The 20th annual meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology, Conservation Without Borders, was held in San Jose, California, USA from 24-28 June. SCB was delighted to meet concurrently with the Society for Conservation GIS. We thank our major supporters, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and The Christensen Fund, as well as our many sponsors.

The 2006 meeting was SCB's largest to date, with ~1700 participants. More than 55 countries were represented, and 25% of participants were students. The scientific program included approximately 150 symposium presentations, 450 contributed oral presentations, and 200 posters.

Tremendous thanks to Volunteer Coordinator Karim Al-Khafaji and the 125 volunteers who ensured that on-site logistics ran smoothly and participant needs were met.
