QUESTIONNAIRE FOR INTERNATIONAL ADVANCES IN PESTICIDE APPLICATION CONFERENCE

9-11 January 2008

 

There was considerable discussion after the sessions on Thursday 10 January regarding future International Advances in Pesticide Application conferences.  Many wide ranging views were expressed, including the need to get feedback from delegates at conferences past and present. Your views are important, and will be considered by our organising committee to help us plan for the next conference, due to be held in January 2010. Following this, we will get back to you with any decisions made based on the results of this questionnaire.

 

If you would like to discuss any of these items in further details or have any queries regarding the questionnaire, please call Carol Millman on +44 (0)2476 574998; +44 (0)7768 748318 (mobile) or email: carol@aab.org.uk
