Welcome (E Komo Mai)
On behalf of President Ritsuo Nishida, the Executive committee and Councilors of the Asia Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists (APACE), I would like to welcome you to the website of the Fifth Asia Pacific Conference on Chemical Ecology. This meeting is being held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, October 26-30, 2009, in the center of the Pacific Ocean and Asia Pacific Region. It is also the 10th anniversary of the APACE as a society.
This year's meeting will attempt to build on the stellar success of past meetings which were held in Shanghai, China; Penang, Malaysia; Jeju, Korea and most recently Tsukuba, Japan dealing with all aspects of chemical ecology in the Asia Pacific Region and worldwide. We would like to welcome those who have attended one of these past meetings as well as new members and members of the International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) to join us for five days in beautiful Waikiki on the island of Oahu to present their research, get together with old friends and meet new friends and colleagues who share a love of this fascinating and exciting area of research.
Please use the links on the left to review the program, make hotel reservations, register for the conference and submit abstract for talks and posters. We hope you will enjoy this meeting as much as the previous ones.
Aloha
