Hello Dr. Daayf,

 

I wanted to send some information along with regards to the upcoming Agricultural BioScience International Conference (ABIC) to be held in Fargo, ND Sept 19-21, 2016. 

 

Please see the email below regarding the upcoming ABIC event in Fargo. The organizers there have extended a much reduced registration costs for students to participate. I wonder if you might forward on to the faculty for their consideration. 

 

We want to be sure that there is a strong Manitoba presence at the event. Just as an aside, ABIC will be in Winnipeg in 2017 and Karin W. is a part of the steering committee. 

Our organization has chartered a bus to transport the MB delegation to Fargo and we have secured a block of rooms at the event hotel as well. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. 

 

Have a terrific weekend.

 

Kristina
