Details for the 8th International Congress of Hymenopterists Meeting. July 20-25, 2014

The International Society of Hymenopterists gladly invites hymenopterists from all over the world, to the 8th International Congress of Hymenopterists. The meeting will be held in Cusco, Peru, 20-25 July 2014. This will be a forum for the dynamic exchange of information and ideas relevant to those interested in Hymenoptera. Your input is required to make this event a success; suggestions for symposia, special sessions and/or keynote speakers will be particularly welcomed.

The preliminary program, housing and registration information will be posted on the ISH meeting website sometime in January 2014. But here is the first circular of information to get  you excited.

The first circular contains many details concerning the meeting, registration, and information about Cusco. Also, we have a flyer for the event. Please download the flyer, print it out, and share it with others in order to promote the meeting. 

We look forward to your attendance,
