Alright - everyone who has asked for an invite on any social platform *should* have a calendar invite in their email from me (it'll be from my @fauna-flora.org email). If I've somehow missed you, can you please shout? 

Steph

Hey Stephanie, I remember this idea being kicked around and I indicated interest some time ago, but if I am not on the list you have going, I would love to passively follow, appreciating the timezones likely will be difficult for me to follow live from Australia.

Hi Oliver, 

We are coming down, and I was just wondering...  Seeing as as are no longer un the EU (very sad face) it might be a good idea for us to get cards and flyers printed by a local company rather than trying to bring them through customs ourselves.

Do you know of any local helpful printing companies?

See you there!

Cris.

Will be there virtually! Not in the EU so unfortunately wouldn't be able to go with COVID restrictions, but looking forward to connecting with folks online!

And a plug that WILDLABS has a session :) - https://www.iucncongress2020.org/programme/official-programme/session-43507 ("WILDLABS: Broadening participation in conservation technology innovation and application")

Hi. I can give a brief blurb on the state of wireless sensor networks if you want. I don't think it will be a very deep dive due to time limitations, but can discuss how we're seeing it in terms of field deployment of wireless sensor networks.
