# World Seabird Conference calls for session proposals

  The 1st World Seabird Conference will be held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada from 7-11 September 2010 with the overall theme “Seabirds: Linking the Global Oceans”.  The conference is being organized by the [Pacific Seabird Group](http://www.pacificseabirdgroup.org/) with the support of a large number of other seabird groups and allied bodies, including ACAP.   [Click here](http://www.pacificseabirdgroup.org/index.php?f=WSC2010&t=&s=1) for the conference’s home page.

  The WSC International Organizing Committee is now calling for proposals for sessions, including symposia, special paper sessions and workshops, with a deadline of 15 February 2009.
