You came, you saw, you enjoyed !! You were great company and we had a fantastic three days together with brilliant Presentations, Posters and lunchtime & coffee-break conversations.
Top service and food from the Conference hotel, Scandic Forus Stavanger and there was the Apiary Visit and the wonderful Fjord boat trip.
A big thank you to Norsk Brunbielag, our Norwegian hosts and the City of Stavanger, who did us proud.
