[Vijay Barve]

TDWG 2021—A Virtual Conference


*Connecting the world of biodiversity data: uniting people, processes and
tools.*

18-22 October Call for organized sessions


The Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) annual conference will again
be virtual in 2021. Essential early information has been posted on the
conference
website <https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2021/>. Additional information
will be posted there as it becomes available.

We invite you to submit a proposal <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WR5FZCS> for
an organized session at TDWG 2021. Organized sessions can take the form of
a symposium, panel discussion, or some other format in which the primary
purpose is to convey information and engage the audience. Proposers will be
responsible for soliciting and coordinating presentations, reviewing and
approving abstracts, and moderating their session(s). Every presentation
listed in the program must have an abstract, which will be published in our
open access journal, Biodiversity Information Science and Standards
<https://biss.pensoft.net/>, as part of the Proceedings of TDWG 2021.
Training and guidance will be provided.

Please note, priority will be given to proposals that address the
conference theme (above in *blue*). If your proposal is accepted, your
session title and description will be posted (subject to editing for
clarity and length) on the TDWG 2021
<https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/> conference
website <https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2021/>.

*Submission deadline:  16 April 2021*

Please contact the conference organizers
