The XIX International Botanical Conference, will be July 23-29, 2017 in Shenzhen, China and is designed to provide opportunities for participants to interact with top scientists and researchers over the world exchanging ideas and discoveries.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all those who submitted symposium proposals before the deadline of December 31, 2015.

We have also received many requests to extend the deadline for submission of symposium proposals for IBC 2017. As a result, the Organizing Committee has decided to extend the deadline for the Call for Symposia to March 31, 2016.

We hope that this will help those who require additional time to finalize their symposium proposals for the coming IBC. For details regarding symposium submission, please visit our congress website: www.ibc2017.cn

We thank you for your involvement and support and look forward to hearing from you!
