Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Wondering about biodiversity information data standards? Find out
where they come from, and how you and everyone in the SPNHC family
can contribute to the standards community and then share what you
learn with your colleagues. Two introduction sessions (choose one)
have open slots and <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions-schedule/">registration
is free</a>. Everyone from the Biodiversity Information Standards
organization (also known as TDWG - Taxonomic Databases Working
Group) looks forward to seeing you there. <br>
<br>
This introductory session focuses on where standards come from, what
current interest and task groups at TDWG are developing, real
examples of how these standards support science and collections, and
current ways in which you can get involved to bring your expertise
and needs to the TDWG table.<br>
<br>
Following this intro session, we invite you to <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/working-sessions-schedule/">register
now for the TDWG Working Sessions (Sept 21 - 25)</a> and the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.tdwg.org/conferences/2020/">TDWG 2020 Conference
(Oct 19 - 23 --> separate registration opening soon)</a>.
Please send questions to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:conf-organizers@tdwg.org">conf-organizers@tdwg.org</a><br>

In anticipation,<br>
