Welcome note

We are delighted to announce the fourth international GGBN conference. This will take place in Aguascalientes, Mexico, from October 17th to 20th, 2023, and will be hosted by the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (see location here). The conference will focus on a wide array of topics, from basic databasing processes to environmental specimens and data analysis (sessions and workshops) and will include a discussion session on where we should head in the immediate future to reach GGBN’s goals.

The GGBN 2023 conference expects to gather academic institutions and representatives of the private and public sectors, considering members and non-members of the GGBN community who are interested in preserving and studying our world’s biodiversity. It does not matter the size of the attending institutions or collections, the conference will certainly bring new ideas, face-to-face interaction, and foster new collaboration opportunities that will enhance our understanding of life on Earth.

​Besides the academic event, we are planning some activities that will let the attendants interact with each other in a more relaxed environment. Those activities include tours around the city of Aguascalientes, which is one of the safest in the country, and will let you experience the culture and gastronomy of the central part of Mexico.
