I International Orchid Symposium
January 12-15, 2010
Taichung, Taiwan

Welcome to the first International Orchid Symposium, organized by the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) Orchid Working Group. Academics, scientists, and industry leaders are invited to participate in the sharing of research-based information on orchids.

This meeting will be held January 12-15, 2010 in Taichung, Taiwan. Taiwan is home to large-scale commercial production of orchids, particularly phalaenopsis, as well as numerous scientists focused on orchid research.

The primary topics of the meeting are:

1. Orchid anatomy and morphology
2. Orchid ecology
3. Orchid genetics and breeding
4. Orchid micropropagation and seed germination
5. Orchid production (including pest and virus control)
6. Orchid postharvest and marketing

This symposium will be held at the National Museum of Natural Science (NMNS, http://www.nmns.edu.tw) in the downtown of Taichung City (the west-central region of Taiwan). There are two lecture theaters (each with a capacity of 200 people) with modern facilities for holding the international symposium.

International symposium participants are encouraged to arrive into Taoyuan International Airport (formerly known as Chiang Kai-shek International, or C.K.S. airport.), which is located outside of Taipei. From Taoyuan International Airport, it takes about 2 hours to reach Taichung City by bus.
