The 7th World Congress of Herpetology will be held on the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada from 8-14 August 2012.  We invite all the world’s herpetologists to attend, as well as their ichthyologist colleagues (both the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists and the American Elasmobranch Society will hold their annual meetings in conjunction with WCH).  In addition to ASIH and AES, other societies holding their annual meetings at WCH include:

Herpetologists’ League
Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles
Canadian Association of Herpetologists/Association Canadienne des Herpétologistes
Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Network/Réseau Canadien de Conservation des Amphibiens et des Reptiles.

The first day of the congress (8 August) will be devoted to society business and committee meetings, with the scientific program following from 9-13 August, inclusive.  The final day (14 August) will be for day trips to local sites or for the commencement of longer tours for those who want to add a holiday component to their visit to British Columbia (trip options and prices to follow shortly on the WCH2012 website).  Social events during the meeting will include a congress-ending banquet on 13 August.

We promise a packed and varied scientific program.  In addition to contributed oral papers and posters, we will have an eclectic diversity of symposia and an outstanding roster of plenary speakers (see website for details).  This will be an exceptional opportunity to meet international colleagues in a stimulating and beautiful setting – we look forward to seeing you all in Vancouver next August.
