Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the Call for Abstracts for the 2015 Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) Conference.  The conference will be held from 28 September to 3 October 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya.  This is TDWG's first conference in Africa! The theme of the conference is Applications, Standards and Capacity Building for Sustaining Global Biodiversity.  Subprograms will include: Digitization, Semantic Technologies, Phyloinformatics, Outreach and Collaboration, ePublications, Trait Data, and Conservation informatics.   The program committee is soliciting contributions that address the conference theme or other topics in biodiversity informatics.  Information on how to prepare and submit abstracts in response to the call is provided on the conference websites, which is available at this link: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tdwg.org_2015-2Dconference_&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=WnshmBKRYvXYvifQhpXCTa1ryhQAnE1LniyoUvUrn9I&s=pErHSpM8zSDX-pxa11Ebw9-Yrm0KeE_UeOG7wB8fNbs&e= .
