PRE-REGISTRATION FORM NOW AVAILABLE

Please go to www.iapc4.org to find the pre-registration form  for the
Fourth International Conference on the Biology and Conservation of
Albatrosses and Petrels, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa, 11-15
August 2008.

As for the first three conferences in the series, there will be
opportunities for both oral and poster presentations, dealing with all
aspects of the biology and conservation of procellariiform birds, as well
as for special-interest workshops and round-table discussions.

A day pelagic trip to view albatrosses and petrels at sea off the Cape
Peninsula is being planned for the weekend immediately after the
conference.

The venue will be the Breakwater Lodge in the Waterfront area of the city.
It is recommended that delegates stay in the lodge
(www.proteahotels.com/breakwaterlodge), which offers budget accommodation
in the same building complex as the conference venue, or in nearby hotels
in the Waterfront.

Conference Fees

We intend to keep registration costs low and thereby give the most people
the opportunity to participate. We hope to be able to offer reduced fees
for students. The registration fee will be based on the number of
pre-registration forms received by year end. Therefore, all prospective
attendees are encouraged to return the pre-registration form as soon as
possible. Full registration, payment and post-conference pelagic trip
booking details will be made available by January 2008, when calls for
abstracts will also be made.
