The World Bromeliad Conference has been rescheduled from 2021 to 2022. There is no longer a WBC 2021 scheduled for June of 2021.
WBC 2022 will be June 8-12, 2022.
The Latest News:
The 100% refund policy for WBC registrations is now in effect through December 31, 2021. Similarly, the current WBC registration rate of $315 for new registrations has been extended through December 31, 2021. Current WBC registrants do not need to do anything in order to keep their registrations in effect for 2022.
The five scheduled speakers from outside the U.S. have all indicated their intention to attend and speak at WBC 2022 and the schedule is largely unchanged except for now being one year later.
The Hyatt Regency Sarasota has asked us to notify those who have hotel registrations for this June that they need to cancel their reservations if they wish to do so. However, anyone who has had made a reservation for June 2021 and wants to still come to Sarasota at that time may keep their reservation at the same rates offered per the original group terms. This means that the group rate of $149 with no $24 resort fee and no $15 parking fee would be honored for anyone who keeps their 2021 reservation.
Hotel reservations for June of 2022 are not yet available, but are expected to become available by this June.
We are sorry for the inconvenience of having to reschedule the World Bromeliad Conference. If we had kept it in 2021, we would have had no speakers from outside the USA and virtually no attendees from outside the USA. Also, many of our volunteers had indicated that they could not attend in 2021. The next World Bromeliad Conference is now WBC 2022 and it will be held in Sarasota, Florida in the USA. Additional information will soon be available online at the BSI website at www.bsi.org. To contact the Conference Co-Chairs with any questions, you may email them at TheWBC2022@gmail.com.
