SCB ICCB 2019 - travel awards open now

Hey everyone, 

Quick reminder that SCB ICCB 2019 abstracts are due Monday. 

In partnership with the SCB Conservation Tech Working Group, we're organising a lot of tech related events at ICCB, including a Tech Symposium, full day tech think tank and a lunchtime workshop. From what I'm hearing (and based on the 2017 ICCB) there will be a lot of tech themed talks/events above and beyond what we're involved in. 

SCB ICCB 2017 is one of my highlights from the last few years because there were SO MANY wildlabbers there - we organised a heap of networking happy hours, dinners, lunches alongside all of the offical events. We'll be doing the same this time round, and I seriously can't wait. So if you're thinking about coming, please get in an abstract and see if you can get a spot to speak about your work - we want to hear about it!
