The Mexican Society for Marine Mammalogy (SOMEMMA) is proud to invite the Marine Mammal community to its
XXXIV International Meeting for the Study of Marine Mammals that will be
held in Queretaro City, May 12 - 15. The meeting´s theme is
"Multidisciplinarity as a strategy to solve marine mammal conservation
conundrums".
We
will host well-known speakers for keynote presentations, and have various
sessions for oral presentations, poster presentations, clinical cases,
case studies and project proposals. In addition, we will offer a series
of specialized preconference workshops and cultural events.
This year we will offer simultaneous spanish-english translation (free
of charge), so we hope to host a good number of non-spanish speakers.
SOMEMMA's
meeting will be held in the historical city center of the beautiful city
of Queretaro, famous for its quaint streets and plazas filled with
cafes, bars, museums and theatres. In addition, our venue is close to
Peņa de Bernal, the wine and cheese route of Tequisquiapan and the
historical Cerro de las Campanas. There will be a number of cultural and entertainment events, from hot air balloon rides to adventure tourism and ghost walks. Our banquet will be held at a restaurant famous for its typical food from the state of Oaxaca, and we will have live music for dancing.
You will definitely not regret coming to the meeting in Queretaro!
Deadline for early (low cost) registration is 22 march 2014 (40 USD for student that are SOMEMMA members, 72 USD for non member students; 80 USD for professionals that are SOMEMMA members, 114 USD for professionals that are not SOMEMMA members)
