dennisB Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi I don't know where this rumour is coming from. The sellers are: Sarracenia NurseriesHewitt-Cooper Carnivorous PlantsInsektenfangScot Carnivorous Plants Sarracenia_cz Redfern Natural History All the plant sellers can meet Kew's CITES and Nagoya requirements. In addition the CPS will have a Chelsea Standard plant display, a peat free trial display and a non plant sales stand. In addition, some of the speakers at the conference will be giving less scientificky talks to those attending the just the Science Festival. I'll publish a list of these talks as soon as I have them from Kew. You can book your place at either the conference (£65 including the Science Festival) or just the Science Festival (£15 for 4 days entry to Kew) at www.thecps.org.uk.

JMHoff Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Are those the ONLY sellers during the event or only the ones confirmed so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisB Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi bookings for the conference are now closed. We have 155 people attending from 22 countries. You can still attend the non conference CP activities which are part of Kew's Science Festival by paying the normal Kew entrance fee at one of the public gates. As well as plant and book sales, the society displays and peat free trials display, some of the speakers at the conference are doing talks for the public which you can attend. cheers Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Anderson Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Is there a full finalised list of the seller's that will be present for the ICPS conference. Just realised my little sister, whom I'm staying with has moved to Enfield, that's going to be a trek every day, but well worth it Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwy Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) How do I know in which tour group I am? There are herbarium and library tour and glasshouse tours that are divided into groups that are held on different days. Or can I pick the group?

David Ahrens Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 It was a good conference. I was able to meet a lot of people that I had not seen for a while. I wonder how everyone got on at Down House today. I drunk far too much coffee one day and bought Allen Lowrie's mighty three volume work. A huge tome indeed. Some Kew workers let me out of the back of the car park to get to my van. My arms were dropping off. The quality of the speakers was very high. I did struggle to get a vague understanding of some of the talks. One speaker even sneaked a bit of calculus in. I haven't done calculus for 25 years. There was something for everyone though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivine Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was surprised there weren't more sellers there to be honest. However, the plants on offer were very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHoff Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I join the "thank you" train. The conference was great, Dennis, Tim and all others organizing did a great job, there were lectures for all publics (some really academic, others more main stream), the dinner was good too (amazing chance to get to know people) and Kew was an amazing scenario for the event. About the sellers they were definitely less than what I expected (if you compare with EEE last year i.e.) but still some good plants were available. You can blame the infamous Nagoya Protocol for that Ady. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Richard, could you explain why is that? I'm not familiar with the Nagoya protocol and got curious.

SoLongFairWell Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Nagoya is basically very tough red-tape. We had a lot of discussion about it and I think I need to do some research and put together an article about it. It goes right over the top of my head. Basically if any plant has location data then you have to prove the origins of when it was collected and by whom. I'm talking paperwork here, not just an entry in our growlists like I keep. When you consider that for many you could say 'so and so dug it up in the 70s' is the best statement you can come up with, you can understand that it was difficult for the sellers.

JMHoff Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Wow, sounds a pretty way of circle the circle. Thanks for the explanation, looking forward that article from you and btw it was great to get to see you in Kew even if we didn't get the chance to have a talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 You should have came and said Hi. Okay, it turns out what I said above regarding Nagoya was incorrect, and an understatement. The plant doesn't have to have location data. We needed to provide evidence that every plant we were going to sell or display, was not wild collected. They wanted a certificate for every plant at Kew and legal documentation such as cites certificates or bill of sale, to prove where it came from.originally. Most sellers couldn't provide that evidence and pulled out, so we agreed in the end on signing a document to say that as far as we knew all plants were legal, artificially propagated and within the Nagoya protocol. By the time we got that agreement most sellers had made other arrangements for that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunzi Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Any plans to put the talks on YouTube? - Last videos the ICPS posted were from 2010 and there is at least one lecture from this year I'd love to see. There are 2 videos in Spanish from a visitor to the conference and one of the trips - I don't understand any of it - but the shots of the plants are great :-) I 'third' the request to see some pictures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 sounds like a bit of overkill to me that slightly spoiled a good event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisB Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi the CPS will be putting our photos of the event on shortly. The official video of the talks are going through post production editing. The video is the property of the ICPS who will, no doubt arrange for it to be made available to its members and, possibly, more widely. cheers Dennis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoLongFairWell Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 The video will take quite a while to edit and distribute to delegates. I posted all my photos on Facebook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
