[PCA] FW: The big Conservation Conference is in three weeks!

Fri Dec 26 21:03:50 CST 2014

Hello. I’m forwarding the email below, to make sure you get the info.  I
think you’ll be very happy with the plant conservation offerings!  Feel free
to forward it to friends, email lists you may use, etc.

A couple points to add, based on questions I’ve received:
1)      The workshops are filling up, but they are not yet filled—there’s
space left in most of them.
2)      The Friday night banquet is a separate registration, so you gotta be
sure to register for it if you want to attend.
3)      There is plenty of hotel space in the venue and nearby (check this
<https://www.google.com/hotels/#search;l=Gateway+Place,+San+Jose,+CA;d=2015-
01-13;n=4;usd=1;mf=r;ar=;rmt=w;rtt=1800;s=p;si=5e00eb35;av=r>  for
examples). In addition, Doubletree is still offering rooms for the workshop
dates at around 50% discount –this ends Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there
