Rotorua Conference February 2009:
Another Success Story
The 24th New Zealand Conference on Microscopy, held at the Distinction Hotel in Rotorua from 10 -12 February 2009, has once again proved to be a resounding success. Largely due to the Herculean efforts of Lloyd Donaldson, and his team of Jacqui Ross, Hilary Holloway, Helen Turner, Gillian Todd and others who helped put it all together. Thank you to all involved in organising the conference speakers, events, displays and the hundred unseen jobs behind the scenes. Your efforts were rewarded with an interesting and enjoyable event.
Thanks also to our sponsors, nanoTechnology, Jeol, ProSciTech, Thomson Scientific Instruments, Leica, Coherent Scientific and NZ Scienctific. Without their help our conference would have been a spartan, and hungry, affair.
We also appreciate the efforts made by the Trades' Display participants. Seeing equipment first hand makes for a much fuller understanding than a brochure or website. The effort required to bring such equipment to a conference is considerable, but appreciated by the participants.
Finally, thanks to Nikki Ellis and Steven Emery from Distinction Hotel who made everything work for us over the course of the week.
