# Next year’s 5th International Bio-Logging Science Symposium will have three distinguished albatross researchers as plenary speakers

The 5th International Bio-Logging Science Symposium will be held in Strasbourg, France from 20-26 September 2014 ([click here](https://www.acap.aq/index.php/en/news/news-archive/57-2012-news-archive/14-5th-international-bio-logging-science-symposium-to-be-held-in-france-in-2014)).  The second announcement for the symposium is now available with information on registration, the tentative programme, the eight plenary speakers and a call for workshops by September this year ([click here](https://www.acap.aq/%20http:/bls5.sciencesconf.org/)).

  The invited plenary speakers will include Dan Costa, Mark Hindell and Rory Wilson, all of whom have worked with ACAP-listed seabirds during their distinguished careers ([click here](http://bls5.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/3)). 

 To organize a workshop contact [Akiko Kato](mailto:akiko.k.r@gmail.com) and [Cecile Vincent](mailto:cvincent@univ-lr.fr) with a tentative title, the name and affiliation of the organizer, a rough estimate of the number of attendees, the expected duration and a half-page summary by the end of September.  Workshops can be held on the Wednesday afternoon, as well as before and after the symposium.
