Social Functions
The importance of human engagement both at an academic and educational level, as well as at a more social level is important to us all.
Whilst taking into account the importance of social distancing and attendee safety, the local organisation committee are working on hosting a Welcome Reception at the start of the conference. Other social engagement opportunities will also be shared once the details and arrangements have been compiled.
Local Organising Committee ½ day tour
The local organising committee are working towards a ½ day tour to be offer to attendees to ensure that everyone gets an opportunity to experience the KwaZulu Natal birdlife on offer.
The details of the tour and the offering are dependent on the funding and support obtained and information in this regard will be shared as soon as possible.
Conference Catering
On the official conference days tea and coffee as well as lunch will be provided to all attendees.
At this time due to the safety and security restrictions related to the COVID 19 pandemic we are not able to advise on the detail and format of this offering.
