Combio2017 – Reminder that the early registration and abstract deadline is Friday, 30 June
26 June 2017
ComBio2017: 2 – 5 October 2017
Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide, South Australia
Abstract and Early Registration Deadline, Friday, 30 June 2017
ComBio2017 incorporates the annual meetings of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Australian Society of Plant Scientists and the Australia and New Zealand Society for Cell and Developmental Biology.
This is a reminder that the early registration and abstract deadline is next Friday, 30 June.
The program timetable and symposium schedule can be downloaded from:http://www.combio.org.au/combio2017/program.html
and the plenary speakers, together with their photographs and biosketches, can be downloaded from:http://www.combio.org.au/combio2017/plenary.html
As recently advised, as a first, ComBio has been reduced to a three day meeting running from 3 – 5 October, with the popular Career Development Forum being held on 2 October and registration also opening for those who want to beat the morning rush when the conference opens early on 3 October. Due to the shorter meeting, the early member registration fees have been reduced substantially, with the student member early registration fee being $250 and the full member early registration fee being $680. The conference secretariat has also held blocks of very reasonably priced accommodation that are very close to the venue. One bedroom apartments start at $169/night where two people can share and have their own space with a sofa bed in the living room. Two bedroom apartments are only $239/night and this costing is for up to four persons (so would cost $60/night per person with 4 sharing an apartment. There are also limited three bedroom apartments available. The other two hotel blocks held range from $114/night (for up to 2 persons sharing) to 5 star InterContinental accommodation at a modest $205/night (for up to 2 persons sharing). Both of the hotels are a one minute walk to the Adelaide Convention Centre (so next door or directly across the road) and the apartments are only a 7 minute walk. Photographs of hotels and rooms can be seen at: http://www.combio.org.au/combio2017/accommodation.html
All bookings must be made through the conference secretariat when registering or you can phone bookings through to Sally Jay on 08 8362 0009.

Call for 2019 ASPS meeting expressions of interest
19 June 2017
Dear ASPS members,
As you will likely be aware, the Sydney 2018 COMBIO will be last annual COMBIO meeting. It will now run as a combined meeting every 2-3 years instead.
ASPS therefore is seeking expressions of interest to hold a 2019 ASPS meeting. This could either be in a city that has traditionally held COMBIO or one that has not. The only criteria is that it is well organised and has costs that are far reduced from COMBIO meetings.
We would like to decide the venue at the next AGM to be held on Thursday 5th October at 2pm at the COMBIO meeting in Adelaide.
We are seeking a venue for approximately 150 people and hoping that costs can be kept to a minimum by using University facilities or similar.
We will leave the timing up to those wishing to host the meeting but out of term time would be good to maximise academic involvement. We envisage that it would be a two day meeting, and we would aim that ASPS and the meeting receipts would subsidize costs for two plenaries from overseas.
As we have a broad membership, in terms of subject content, it would be wise to have at least 2 concurrent streams.
If you are wanting to host the meeting please contact myself (matthew.gilliham@adelaide.edu.au) or our President, Sergey (sergey.shabala@utas.edu.au) to discuss further.
Thanks,
Matt
