On behalf of the Ecological Society of Australia, we would like to welcome you to attend the 10th International Congress of Ecology, 2009 in Brisbane, Australia.  
  
The ecological societies of Australia and New Zealand are proud to have won the honour of hosting the first INTECOL Congress in the southern hemisphere.  Ecological research and its implementation for managing environmental systems are flourishing in Australia and New Zealand and we are keen both to share our research successes and show off the intriguing plants, animals and ecosystems on offer on our landmasses.

The Scientific Program is taking shape under the guidance of an international panel of experts and promises to hold sessions of interest to all ecologists.  A varied array of alternative meeting styles, meeting venues, and a relaxing series of social options will also make this is memorable event for you and accompanying guests.

We hope you will be able to join us in Brisbane in 2009 to experience the professionalism offered by our conference partners Tour Hosts and the world-class Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.  Apart from the Congress, come and enjoy the pleasures of Brisbane City, beaches and rainforests within a few hours drive, and the diversity of other ecosystems that are on offer through the field trip options.
