The 13th International Carnivorous Plant Society Conference was to have been held in Himeji, Japan, on May 22-24, 2020. The Conference is sponsored by by the Japanese Carnivorous Plant Society (JCPS) with the cooperation of the Kansai Carnivorous Plant Society (KCPS), the Tokai Carnivorous Plant Society (TCPS) and the Hiroshima Carnivorous Plant Society (HCPS). The conference has been postponed one year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the date may still be further reconsidered depending on future world-wide medical advice.
If the conference can be held in May 2021, the location will be Himeji, Japan, and the program, including the botanic garden tour and the field trips, will be almost the same as originally planned. The sponsors will try to change the venue to the Himeji Civic Hall, within walking distance of Himeji station. Alternately, the “I-Messae” Auditorium in front of Himeji Castle, may be used.
